They make a great place to sit at events. Not to mention protection from getting rear ended by a meth head in an s-10. Someday everyone is going to want them and im going to have the only ones left.

While we are on the subject of bumpers.
A G-body front bumper weighs 6.892Kg which is 15.2lb Quite light really.

IIRC those 'rubber' bits are an ionomer - some tough-ass engineering plastic. Porsche was ahead of the curve.

My ROW SC has had a few minor bumps on the rubber bits and you wouldn't know it.
A driver of Ford Mondeo had deliberate parked me in, so I just reversed hard pushing the car backward destroying it's plastic/fiberglass bumper, my car was fine. Who says life is not fair. |

protection
IMHO. If your car is a DD, or if you live in a city, we must beware the morons/mouthbreathers that park my ear or brail. FG bumpers sure light, but i doubt they will withstand a light parking "bump". We don't even want to think about a 5 mph bump in the rear of a glass bumpered car.
There is a possibility that your insurane company might "get fussy" about damage to a fg bumpered car. grumpy |

I have a long hood, and short hood car. If I were to take a hard rear ending, you can guess which car I would rather be in. Rob
