hls30.com Posted February 2, 2004 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2004 Does anybody have any interest in a a set of polished Stainless steel or aluminum bumper and over-rider covers? They would be a close fit to the entire face of the bumper (and each over-rider as a seporate piece) and loop around at the top with no seams. I am thinking about setting up the tooling to make them-not sure what they would cost-but certianly not the $900 for the OEM pieces at either end, They would never rust-out or corrode/peel, and could bring that mirror polished pride back to a Z with a bad bumper.Thoughts?

Bambikiller240 Posted February 2, 2004 Share #2 Posted February 2, 2004 An actual "stainless steel bumper" (not a cover) might be interesting. "I" wouldn't want to add extra weight (in the form of a cover) to an existing bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share #3 Posted February 2, 2004 The added weight of a cover would probably be less than 3 lbs, 304 Stainless steel wieghs a bit more than the steel that the bumper is currently made out of and the chrome, copper and nickel it is plated with, so adding a thin cover might well be lighter than replacing the entire bumper. With a cover, the actual bumper could be lightened anyway, actually reducing weight with out changing the visual appeal of the car. I will explore both a cover and a bumper as I get more info.
