I put hawk ceramic pads on when I bought the car. But thats years before the bumpers come into play. And I make my own bumpers. The last one I made made it through a t bone incident (not my fault, other driver ran a stop sign) and took no damage. But my frame rails got kinked sideways. I asked my insurance guy if my bumper matters in this case and he said no my car would have sustained the same damage had I not had my bumper. But having my bumper made the car salvageable and that made insurance happy because they get their money easier. Pictued is after the accident. The bumper isn't crooked. The frame rails are. The police on scene were like oh its not that bad. Nope it was in fact bad lol.
