Jeff,
I am 50/50 on the look.
It really depends upon the van they are attached too.
If you are going for the prerunner offroad look, they are the ticket.
No so on a late Syncro Westy that had the fiberglass bumpers.
Industrial it is.
The strenght is what I like the most.

Funny, I was just writing the opposite opinion.� They look strong and well
built, but I just don't like the look of that front bumper.� Their rear
bumper is very nice though.

Cheers,

Jeff

Impressive. I think the RMW bumpers are the best looking of the bunch.

btw was your wife chasing you with a golf club when you crashed? :)

So I got the unfortunate chance to crash test my front RMW bumper and
took out a huge brick post at the end of my driveway. No damage to my
van and very little damage to my bumper. Let me tell you I hit that
thing very hard!!!!!!! Check out the pics. Here is a link. I love my
bumpers they are great. Well worth the money.

RE: Bumpers
As much as I like the Van Cafe bumpers (on my '90 WEsty nearly nine
years
now) the RMW bumpers look like a little better solution.� Not as
bulky and
they look like they don't cut into the approach angle.� Though maybe
not as
big an intimidation factor in traffic :)
