What ever happened?

And I can change a plastic bumper cover in about 5 minutes.

You've obviously either not taken many off, only taken one type off, or are just ripping them off without care. No offense intended. These things are a royal pain in the butt.

I've had many rear bumpers here that require removal of almost the entire interior trim. They hide those damn fasteners everywhere. The rear bumper for a Taurus wagon is enough to make you want to blow it up.

Or you have to remove the headlights and the grille to take the front bumper off :angry7:.

I'll take my "four bolts and it's off" chrome bumper anytime.

There are so many cars that show up here, written off, that would still be on the road if they had real bumpers.
