Some people may ask why the bumpers are not made of stronger materials, such as steel, which can better protect the car?

　　While rigid metal bumpers do save you money on replacement car parts, research shows that built-in crumple zones can reduce the impact on vehicle occupants in the event of an accident. So, while you might pay to repair or replace a cracked plastic bumper after a relatively minor accident, at least you won't have to pay any doctor's bills or worse.

　　Most people know that car bumpers are located on the front and rear of the vehicle. In this day and age, most OEM factory bumpers are made of a plastic shell that covers a pad made of some form of polystyrene or other similar durable foam type material. This cushioning is called a "crumple zone" and is designed to collapse in order to withstand impact forces to a certain extent. Bumpers are also usually reinforced with aluminum, fiberglass, or plastic, depending on the vehicle.

　　Not all bumpers are created equal, for example, a larger vehicle's bumper (Chevrolet Silverado bumper, Dodge Ram bumper, etc.) will be stronger than a car's bumper. The bumper plays an important role in a fender bender, which is why it's important to keep your bumper in good condition.
