Yeah I'm really shocked at the size of the dent that Ford put into the
bumper. Yet again those front bumpers are pretty flimsy gauge steel.
Honestly you may as well just drive around with the thing off completely
- as the level of crash protection it provides is about the same as if
you had HVAC duct work bolted up there.
I've long pondered a way to fix up a "floating mount" to the front end
of my Dodges - to give the bumper some sort of spring mount... to allow
for energy absorbtion. Ever see the bumpers on the first generation
Ford Escorts? Those things could absorb a 15 MPH impact and not do a
bit of damage. They were well designed. ALmost a shock mount system.
