Aluminum Bumper Brackets

Why would a solid piece of aluminum bracket be any different than a solid piece of steel bracket?

Softer metal= better vibration absorbtion? I'd use some type of rubber between the 'glass bumper & bracket anyway.........[/QUOTE]

It`s all about weight, you can probably knock off ten pounds switching to an aluminum bracket when compared to some of the factory steel brackets.
