how many a100 owner have done away with the front bumper on their van, i'm considering it but fear somebody bumping/hitting it or worst yet having my head somewhere else and hitting something,after that it would probably be toast. i just think it looks better without.

Nerf Bars look great on a A100

does the bumper have anything to do with the DOT, or viceversa.
is that required just like seatbelts.
and just like seatbelts for safety issues
i like the look without front and back bumpers too

I think they look good without bumpers, nerf bars are cool. I like the chrome front bumper and no bumper in the rear look. I'll trade a set of nerf bars for a nice chrome front bumper for my truck!

My bumpers are going in the top of the garage. The stock bumpers and mounts are not that strong, and bend back into the body when hit so I'm cutting out the middle man and let's hit the body from the get go.
