The Facts About Custom Bumpers

May 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Custom front and rear bumpers give any vehicle an added layer of protection for both the driver and the passengers.  The front bumper also protects the engine from suffering from any sort of damage during a crash.

Adding a custom bumper to a truck may also improve its gas mileage by making it more streamlined, depending on the bumper’s design.  If the bumper is more aerodynamic at the front of the vehicle the air resistance will be weaker which means that the vehicle will get better mileage on the road.  A properly designed bumper will help the truck effectively “cut” through the air while creating less resistance.

Just like the vehicles they are installed on, custom bumpers come in a range of sizes, weights, and prices.  Cheaper custom bumpers tend to be more lightweight while heavier custom bumpers tend to be more expensive.  Custom bumpers also affect the vehicle’s resistance to the normal bumps and shocks experienced while driving because they add more leverage to the truck.

The price of repairing damage to a custom bumper also varies on the severity of the damage and the quality of the bumper.  If a driver is interested in installing a custom bumper on their personal vehicle or work vehicle, they are advised to check with their insurance agency to see whether damage to custom bumpers is covered under their policy.  If it is not, repairing dents and other damage can be a bit expensive.  Most of the custom bumpers on the market right now are of the cheaper variety which means that they may not last as long as their heavier counterparts, any will most likely need to be replaced more often.

Some people just want to buy a custom bumper for their truck purely for the aesthetic appeal.  Chrome looks good on just about anything, and it can add just the right amount of attitude to an otherwise boring ride.
