I stand corrected. They looked like PZ bumpers when viewed with my phone.
For the record, RM bumpers might look very different but they are still
inspired by the PZ bumpers IMHO. Projektzwo bumpers predates all these other
iterations by decades. Anyway, $2500 for a pair of PZ's is almost as bad as
RM prices. As far as value eventual value is concerned, I'll bet PZ bumpers
will be much more sought after decades from now. You really have to see them
in person to appreciate their quality vs. the US made counterparts.
Ironically, those German designers were probably inspired by the tube
bumpers found on American 4X4 trucks all over the US.

What came first? The chicken fillet flat ends of the knock-offs or the
egg-shaped ends of the PZ bumpers. I'll bet it was the fried Ferd or the
potato Chivey.
