When I bought my 2020TC the thing that worried me most on first glance was the rear bumper. It is all plastic and painted to match. I’m gona use this thing as a do it all family/work van. A lot of things will slide across that bumper. There are going to ba a lot of paint scratches. Within the first week the back bumper was thrashed. Well a quick search on Amazon came up with this. It fit perfectly, almost looks factory like.  All the holes lined up and there is almost no gap between the protective liner and original bumper. Here is the before and after.

It took about 10mins start to finish. The five T15s are located just under the weather gasket above the bumper. If you open back doors or lift gate step back a little you can see the T15s. The lip edge has double sided tape. I would dry fit first before starting the tape because the adhesive promoter they provided with the tape makes it super sticky. Follow the instructions you can’t go wrong. Basically put in position, tighten T15s then lift up loose edge to pull tape and press down. I did celebrate with 1 beer cause I no longer have to look at all the dings and scratches.  
I chose this product because it covers pretty much the whole area where materials are most likely to scrape.  Yes it is a tad more then just the sticky rubber pads that don’t cover the whole width of bumper. The best part is the lip edge wraps around so water and debris can shed off and not get trapped underneath.
