Reply to "Looking for alternatives to 'L' bumpers"

Thanks everyone for the info and links.

I'm assuming the small bumpers are more decorative than anything else. This may be a dumb question but has anyone who's car is equipped with the small steel bumpers been hit lightly? Do they offer any protection to the body or does the body just get pushed in beneath the bumper? Assuming black bumpers, might fiberglass bumpers be better at absorbing a light hit, sort of being sacrificial being easy to repair and repaint?

I'm probable over thinking it but that's were I am with my project.

Is there any advantage to steel over fiberglass?

larryw and Joep, Any photos will be much appreciated. Thanks!
