How about Glass or Carbon Fiber Euro Bumpers?

[rfkellner@snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

    To offer a little more protection I was suggesting that we incorporate
our existing rebar.  As you know the current rebar is a sandwich of two
pieces, maybe one could be utilized?
    I have seen some sites where one, of the two piece rebar, was used in an
attempt to lower the weight of the U.S. bumper.
