I could model something and run a finite element analysis to see how it would deform but my software may not accurately represent actual crash buckling.

David, you just described a variation on my idea. Glass bumpers on 911s are like my 2001 Tundra, the bumper is purely aesthetic. I was thinking a band of Al bar that would go in between the glass and bumper mounts. It wouldn't give you the protection of the 50 lb chunk of steel that is the actual bumper in my truck, but better than 4mm of fiberglass.
Modeling something would be great! Sending you an email.
