The Best GM Bumpers

Accidents happen. Bumpers help reduce their effects. What they do is simple: they absorb impact force. In doing so, they help reduce injury severity to you, your passengers, and any pedestrians involved. How well a bumper does its job, however, depends on what it's made of.

Many are comprised of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene -- more simply, ABS plastic. Others, however, are a bit ruggeder, made of polymers such as polypropylene. Some are even more protective, adding aluminum or steel reinforcement bars. Others yet safeguard with enhancements, such as longer overhangs.

Most bumpers you see every day, though, are basic, adequate for normal driving. Some smaller ones can even improve fuel economy somewhat. However, if you drive a truck or a performance SUV, for instance, and you like to go off-road, you'll stay safer from obstacles on the trail if you install, for example, a steel bumper with a longer overhang.

As you're probably aware of by now, no bumpers last indefinitely. They get dinged up, dented, or just plain cracked or broken eventually -- that is, if they don't just age and wear out. A damaged but secure bumper is often okay to drive with. However, if either your front or rear one has fallen off -- even if it's simply at risk for detachment -- your vehicle may be unsafe or even illegal to drive. Luckily, bumper replacement is easy.
