What's the best bumper protector for parallel parking?
Most of you seem to be all about deleting crashbars and leaving project cars in your heated garages.
I parallel park. On a hill. Next to bars. In Hollywood.
I never, ever park in spots where I'm not the first car in line, that way nobody can back into me. However I'm so sick and tired of getting license plate bolt imprints in my rear bumper.
My idea is to harness the power of shame.
A soft rubber mat that flaps out of the trunk suspended by straps. However instead of being useless like existing products I want two specific features:
1 - Clown horn that sounds like a gay goose. Every time the air filled pad is bumped by some moron, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK.
2 - Instead of some lame brand logo, I want huge letters in neon yellow that say something along the lines of "YOU PARK LIKE ****, **** OFF".
Edit: Come on, this is the one instance in the evo community where profanity is absolutely justified. Drop the filter.
Any ideas on existing products I could modify to include these essential features?

I love this idea! it says F*** off in any language!
Came out of a bar one night with one guys car up against my front bumper. It has been replaced and repainted now due to a certain raccoon...sigh. But I think I'm going to buy tow hooks now.

Towhook idea is pretty good, wish it was legal to have a rusty metal spike on it though.
Last night I got a thumbnail sized deep imprint of a license plate frame bolt from this huge Dodge truck. He thought I wouldn't noticed so he just parked there. I left him a note but I don't think it's worth going through insurance for that. Still annoying because it's not even a paint scratch, it goes deep into the plastic.
