Subject:Pipe Bumpers in San Diego

Hi,

After scouring the archives and contacting several people who had pipe
bumpers made for them or got them from Projekt Zwo in Germany, I got a
recommendation for a company here in San Diego, Racer Xcessories, that
specializes in bumpers and roll cages.

You can see pictures of the bumpers installed on my non-synchro westy
at:

Racer Xccessories
1460 Fayette St.
El Cajon, CA 92020
(619)258-1746
Tim Maguire

Features:

Rear hitch (receiver, or ball type)
Wrap around front and rear
Glossy black powder-coat finish
Fog lights or Hella XL low beam mounts on front
Bull bar? on front
3" tubing
Rear mounts onto stock mounting points
Front mounts on stock points plus underneath the vehicle using 1.5" pipe

They don't look as 'finished' as the Projekt Zwo bumpers, but nothing a
pop-rivet gun and some black sheet plastic or aluminum couldn't take
care of.  Also, my crappy pictures don't do them justice.

I got the impression that he (Tim) prefers to have the car in his shop
so that he can fit the bumpers, but you can call and ask.  Perhaps he
took careful notes when he built mine.

Price was <$700 for both bumpers installed.
