How about Glass or Carbon Fiber Euro Bumpers?



Allyn, have you ever seen a Scirocco in an accident that had 
eurobumpers on it? The dont offer much of any crash protection 
either. Just dont want you to think you're protected once you have 
Euros on there. Fiberglass bumpers can't be *that* much worse.
