They are actually a bit better, as they don't have expensive fiberglass trim all over them for when you back into poles and such. I actually just replaced my badly magled rear bumper and my near-perfect front with a pair of black Transporter-style bumpers (no rub strips) from RMMW. $75 each. _________________________________________________________ Bob O'Shaughnessy, Columbus, OH vanagon@columbus.rr.com 85GL with basic Westy interior 74 Bus (Dad's) 72 Wife, 94 Rabbit, 95 Cat, 96 cat, 98 Kid |
