Thanks Gene. How does Polypropylene compare with the OEM material?
Is the bumper stiff and hard vs. the flexible nature of the OEM version?

I was wondering the same thing Frank As good as it looks, durability is huge factor....

Well they say it's made of the same material as the Tic-tac's lid... So i assume it's pretty durable. Phil, chime in and let us know

at this point only Phil can comment on the durability of the bumper.
That said, the prior other bumpers made with the same materials for other cars have been very successful and resilient.

Phil, what kind of caption would you like?

Phi, all the brackets, it was $400 with the priority shipping. Mailman delivered it in his personal truck because box was too big.

Seems like the same quality as factory bumper. I'm no expert but doesn't feel cheap, it is lightweight though.
