I've had the Van Cafe bumpers on my '90 Westy for 12 years now.  The powder
coat has held up very well and been very tough.  And a couple of minor
incidents, both front and rear, that would have cost me the original
fiberglass bumpers survived without a scratch.
As pointed out already the front bumper does cut down the approach angle,
not good.  But has only caused a problem once or twice.  And as for the
mounting the Van Cafe bumper is very solidly mounted to the van, I have
never worried about that.

I've looked closely at both the GoWesty bumpers and the Rocky Mountain
bumpers on other vans.  If I was to do it again I'd probably go with the
Rocky Mountain bumpers.  Primarily for the 'Roo bar' that they have
available.  GoWesty has been promising such for several years but AFAIK the
bar is still not in their catalog.
