well you can be sitting at a stop and still have some knuckle dragger hit ya. happened to
me but lucky this time no marks. I might be like the old harley guys and carry some extra
cv balls to drop out my floor board for tail gunners also. I just want to enjoy my drive not
be a clone.

living in a world of plastic cars.  still driving steel.

You are welcome to borrow my very straight no wrinkles or scratches
black rear bumper!
hahaha...
I am not in SC, but on the left coast near LA
to improve your chances of keeping YOUR bumper straight:
improve your rear lights
install 3rd brake light
convert to Subaru engine so you can keep up with traffic...hahaha
