I've always thought the gray bumpers were the only unsightly thing about the Cruiser, especially more so on some colors like the Inferno Red. While debating what to do, in January I was rear-ended by a semi, and even though it was at a low speed, the impact was terrible. Things stored in the back ended up in the front seat, it sounded like glass shattering. I couldn't get out and look at it, just sat there until police finally arrived.
The rear bumper didn't look so bad, until it was removed - the body and tire rack were really smashed in, there was quite alot of body work involved, but really it was very well protected by that bumper.....guess I'll have to save up my $.01 and get them painted.....
