I don't see why that part needs to be a firm solid plastic or urethane piece. Am i missing the point?

Not really, it was just a simple concern from someone who didn't realize it wasn't an integral part of the car's structure.

Cuz I wasn't expecting anything flimsy on the outside... Just thought it'd be important for safety purposes, but guess not :-/

Sasquachulator · 03-08-2012, 05:06 AM

umm, arent all bumpers like that? Lol

Cept for a Vette, since the whole rear end is its 'bumper'

ZetaVI · 03-08-2012, 08:45 AM

Small concern for me.

Draco-REX · 03-08-2012, 09:39 AM

Great, now Jeremy Clarkson is going to be poking it in the rear like every Corvette he gets on the show. :P

+1, this isn't a surprise. Also, go push on pretty much any new car bumper cover and you get the exact same flimsiness. It's an aesthetic cover just barely strong enough to hold its shape and not tear itself off at-speed.

You are pressing on the lower portion of the bumper. If you push on any modern day car bumper that has a lower diffuser piece like that it will flex, there is nothing behind it.

Just curious, since it's so flimsy, is it purely aesthetic?
