Quick Overview

Description

DaTo ASMBC102 Bumper Cover (also known as the front fascia) is a visible, molded body component that’s typically made out of either plastic or fiberglass. This is the part of the front end that people often misidentify as the bumper itself.

       The bumper cover sits in front of the actual bumper. Basically, the bumper cover is there to provide a kind of aesthetic appeal that is unobtrusive. Bumper covers also enhance aerodynamics and, thereby, improve fuel efficiency.

The Differences Between a Bumper Cover and a Bumper

AttributesDetails
Bumpers Bumper Covers
Functionality The bumper is a structural
component designed to absorb
impact in the case of a front-end
collision.
The bumper cover is the soft (usually modeled plastic) portion of your car
designed to add aesthetic appeal and enhance aerodynamics.
Protection As mentioned above, these offer
decent protection against impact, as well as a contribution to your car’s
“crumple zone”*.
Covers are just that—covers. They’re
aesthetic fittings that offer little to no protection on their own.
Materials Metal or special grade alloys. Can range from high-density plastic
materials, fiberglass, and rubber to
synthetic and genuine leathers.
Availability This will depend on your car’s year,
make, and model, as you will have to purchase one that fits your car
perfectly.
