Good use for US spec bumpers
 

Good use!
Mine went into an Australian Land Fill.

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.

I’m hoarding three pairs of them in storage. Ugly as sin, but pretty effective in low speed crashes.

Truly.

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.

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.

They go for at least $100 on ebay ...

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
