He's anyone done anodized aluminum bumper blades? It would shave some weight and it's not like the blade bumpers offer much protection. It would be a more understated and stockish look than running aluminum t-bars.

Ah, yes------good old Briz Bumpers. I haven't heard them mentioned in many years.

Well, I was more wondering if anybody had done '67 down style VW bumper blades in aluminum. Stock was chrome steel, they are now available in polished stainless steel, how about polished and clear anodized aluminum? Those old bumpers don't offer much protection anyway and a little thicker aluminum might look nice compared to some of the thin steel copies available.

How remarkably douchey, you troll. Why don't you go figure out some new schtick, and get back to us? Rolling Eyes

(And keep working on biting your lip, like your sig line suggests.)
