How cool this is//////

I just notice that the bumper corners are part of the front fender,therefore when you have a front end collision and either corner is not fixable,you must replace the fender, the car looks cool,but I dont think it is practical.

In the U.S. you have to carry a good comp and collision insurance. It all comes down to what choice of deductible you want to pay for. For me personally, it would only cost me $100 dollars deductible for a trip to the body shop to have this thing replaced or any type of damage. The point is, practically doesn't really come to play when you are fully covered.

Either way, drive safe out there.

You betcha. The funny thing about this, I used to carry $500 deductible. The wife scraped the bumper twice on my E53 while trying to parallel park next to the wall so I decided to bump it up to $100 deductible. Now that I have parking sensors on the E70, I think I should take it back to $500 again
