The Differences Between a Bumper Cover and a Bumper
| Attributes | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Same as bumpers |
