Up here in snow country, the piles can become frozen and can damage the facia. Has anyone installed this Vamguard bumper protector?

I have the same one on an '18 LX. Fit is as pictured and same goes for the rear. For ice protection it works but if a car bumped it, you will get some dents/bends on the bar because of the thin tubing. Fortunately it's not too expensive so you can replace it after it gets mangled and does its job!

Does the rear guard work even when towing?
Probably not as the rear has a step that is too close to the hitch receiver.

Yes I agree....have to tow the boat, I’ll just go with front, Thanks again!
I also have the same "low runner" front bumper protector installed on a 2018 LX. For the rear, I was also concerned about making the hitch inaccessible, so I installed the following hitch-based protector:

It obviously doesn't provide the same level of protection in the rear corners, but it's better than nothing, and can be removed as needed.
I mostly put these in as "spacers" for parallel parking in the city, but I think they complement the vehicle nicely (especially the front guard).
