On Thursday, The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released new crash test results and they show most car bumpers are not designed to protect the vehicle's expensive parts and that even the most minor accident could cost you thousands of dollars They're the kind of vehicle mishaps that happen thousands of times a day on American roadways.See Video
But while the classic 'fender bender' usually doesn't result in injuries, newly released crash test results from the insurance institute for highway safety show a minor wreck can lead to major repair bills. LINK.

I guess this is a wake up call to the manufacturers. They have to consider the main function of bumpers not only on the style. Right now, i'm planning to intall nissan bumpers. I hope it'll protect my car.
Thanks for the comment Lauren,
Safety is everyones concern even the manufacturers (they have families too).
