Re: Bumper Modification 200 1981

Don exagerates a bit. The post '85 bumpers aren't ALL plastic. Under the black plastic cover is a hunk of aluminum channel, maybe 3/8 inch thick.

Some new cars DO have all plastic bumpers - under the flexible plastic cover is a grid of rigid plastic, with some styrofoam thrown in for good messure. Seems scary to me, but I'm not a materials scientist - they could be stronger than steel, for all I know. I don't know what the new Volvos use for bumpers.
