Re: Fascias



I tried posting before to correct a misunderstanding from my post 
regarding the SS fascia's so I'll try again with a short and sweet 
post: The 30 MPH test I was refering to is the actual DOT standard 
that car manufactures have to test with (crash test). The actual 
bumpers themselves should tolerate a 5 MPH bump without any major 
damage to any parts of the car.
