No Stinkin' Bumperettes

Here's the black plexiglass cover... same concept, just a different look. Looks awesome on a black car.

Don't the bumperettes actually serve a purpose in a rear end collision?

Think of the bumperettes as an extension of your bumper. Underneath the plastic/rubber covers is a metal support that attaches directly to your bumper underneath the bumper cover. The idea of the bumperettes is to save your bumper cover in case of a very low speed (like 5 mph) impact. Basically it's for people who don't know how to parallel park. I know how to park though, so I didn't see any problem with taking them off. The crash protection bumper for higher speed impacts is still intact 100%. If I get rear ended and my bumper cover gets damaged... well that's the problem of the person who rear ended me.

Looks pretty slick! Might want to do something like that since my bumperettes look faded, even after using Back to Black.

Paint them, it'd look really good on your car with the 550 all red taillights.
