Hi All. I'm in NY too. Upstate (Rochester) area.
Does anyone have ideas for a bumper kit? Front and rear? It seems like a bumper that mounts behind the fiberglass would function properly and not impact the lines of the car. Heck, look at any car today... steel bumpers hidden behind all kinds of plastic. Maybe bolting up steel cross pieces front and rear is possible without holes in the body and adding too much more weight.
Just a thought... I recall seeing something about the 818 frame having crumple zones... is there a way to prove that the frame design stands as is with sufficient safety precautions already in place?
