BUMPERS

The purpose of having a bumper on your car is very specific. A lot of people think that its purpose is to prevent or lessen injury in a crash. In fact, not many consider bumpers to be safety features that protect occupants at all. The purpose of bumpers is to reduce or prevent physical damage to the rear and front of vehicles in low-speed crashes. By design, bumpers protect the grille, hood, exhaust, fuel, trunk, and cooling system. A bumper is a shield that is usually made of rubber, aluminum, steel, or plastic. It absorbs shocks from car accidents.
