In Reply to: Euro Bumpers vs. US Bumpers posted by dd on June 09, 2000 at 15:44:53:

: OK, Euro bumpers are lovely and yes, the car was designed that way, but I think the euro bumpers are totally overrated. US bumpers are well engineered and nicely integrated into the overall design. The US bumpers have cool shark-like rear side moulding with nice reflectors and they have nice front trim too. By comparison, the euro rear side moulding looks more like an afterthought, just stuck on there with a gap between moulding and fender. The rubber strip above the rear bumper on a euro car also has a gap, between it and the bumper. On a US car, the rear there is no gap and the bumper blends nicely into the trunk area. The front euro bumper is composed of so many pieces it's ridiculous. My US car seems to get more oohs and ahhs then my euro. Yes, US bumpers are a little bulkier, but they certainly don't look bad.
