Jeff, I am 50/50 on the look. It really depends upon the van they are attached too. If you are going for the prerunner offroad look, they are the ticket. No so on a late Syncro Westy that had the fiberglass bumpers. Industrial it is. The strenght is what I like the most. dylan ________________________________ From: Jeff <vw.doka@GMAIL.COM> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Mon, March 8, 2010 7:45:37 PM Subject: Re: RMW bumpers live - CRASH TEST Funny, I was just writing the opposite opinion.  They look strong and well built, but I just don't like the look of that front bumper.  Their rear bumper is very nice though.

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.
