A straight one lies only on the upper surface of the bumper. A protector with a bend has a folded edge and additionally covers the bumper edge, which is most often hit during loading. Which shape is right for your model can be seen from the name and photos.
Stainless steel is stronger and can be polished, but it is often narrower. ABS is lighter, often covers almost the full width of the bumper, and can be black or matte. The material is listed in the name and specifications.

How it works
Fit the trim Place the trim against the bumper without removing the tape backing, align it with the center, and make sure it follows the contour and does not cover sensors or the lock.
Mark the position Mark the edges of the trim on the bumper with masking tape so it can be positioned straight on the first try.
Wash and degrease the bumper Remove dirt and wax, dry the surface, and wipe the area where the tape will sit with a degreaser or alcohol.
Prepare for cold weather Apply in dry warmth. If it is cool outside, warm up the bumper and the tape with a hair dryer.
Apply from the center Peel off part of the backing, align the center of the trim with the marks, then gradually remove the backing and press the trim toward the edges.
Press along the full length Go over the entire trim, pressing the edges and bend firmly. Do not wash the car right away so the tape can set.
