OEM Acura Bumpers

Accidents can happen during any drive. Your Acura bumper is crucial to reducing their effects. What they do is simple: they absorb much of an impact's force. In doing so, they help reduce injury severity, both to the driver and passengers and any pedestrians involved. How well a bumper does these jobs, however, depends on what it's made of and how durable it is.

What are Bumpers Made Of?

Many bumpers are made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene -- more simply, ABS plastic -- but others are a bit more rugged, made of materials like polypropylene. Some add even more protection by incorporating aluminum or steel reinforcement bars, while others have enhancements like longer overhangs.

Most bumpers you see daily are adequate for normal driving. Some smaller ones can even give you a little fuel economy bump. However, if you drive a performance SUV and like going off-road, you'll get better safety from trail obstacles if you put on a steel bumper with a longer overhang.

As you may be aware by now, no bumper lasts indefinitely. They get dented, dinged, or just plain broken sooner or later -- that is, if they don't just wear out from age. A damaged but secure bumper is often okay for driving with. However, if either your front or rear one is at risk of detachment, or they've fallen off already, your vehicle can be unsafe or even illegal to drive. Luckily, repair or replacement is easy.
