Most people misidentify these two critical features on their car–the bumper and bumper cover. While they appear to be part of the front fascia, they serve distinct purposes. There's more to your car's front end than meets the eye! Let's unravel the mystery of the bumper and bumper cover, and understand how they work together.
You now may be asking which is the cover and which is the bumper. Let's clear up the confusion. The bumper, often made of tough materials like steel or aluminum, is the hidden workhorse. It's the real shock absorber, designed to take the brunt of a low-speed collision and this ensures that some of the more important components under the hood receive less impact, thereby mitigating your repair costs. The bumper gets replaced when you have significant incidents which would require both the bumper and bumper replacement to be replaced.
On the other hand, the bumper cover is all about the vehicle's aesthetic. It is made with lighter material like plastic; our bumper cover replacements are made with high-quality, ABS plastic. The cover enhances the car’s design and protects the bumper from minor scratches and dings. Thankfully that means if there are any smaller dings or scratches on the cover, it does not mean there is an underlying issue with the bumper or minimize your safety.
Considering that the bumper cover is usually what gets damaged in fender benders, we have a lot more knowledge of those! Aside from accidents, it is up to your discretion on whether you get your bumper cover replaced or not. Some reasons to get a new bumper cover replacement with Bumpers That Deliver may be because the paint is chipping away, the part is older and is deteriorating, or even just because it has a lot of dents and scratches on it. These may be eye sores and something that you want to get rid of for your sanity or for the value of the car.
