I needed to fix it fast because I had a VW cruise to go to just 2 days after the crash. My insurance company bought me a new bumper to replace the one I smashed. Mike at Rocky mt. westy gave me a new front bumper for $600.00 and free shipping. I had the old one repaired by cutting out the sections of smashed pipe and then welding in 2 new sections of straight pipe. Then had the old power coating stripped then had the entire bumper re-power coated.. It looks like a brand new bumper now........... Thanks for your input tho----

No damage to my van and very little damage to my bumper. Let me tell you I hit that thing very hard!!!!!!! Check out the pics. Here is a link. I love my bumpers they are great. Well worth the money. http://picasaweb.google.com/105182869870682945782/RMWBumperCrashTest#
