Battle of the Bumpers

When Design, Durability, and Dents Collide

Plastic vs. Metal in Modern Vehicles Modern bumpers are more than cosmetic—they're engineered for crash absorption, sensors, and safety. But not all bumpers are built the same. Today’s vehicles use a mix of plastic, foam, and metal depending on make, model, and year. Plastic bumpers are lighter and cheaper to manufacture, but they can crack or warp more easily. Metal bumpers offer durability but are heavier and more costly to repair or replace. At Victory Auto Body and Paint, we assess bumper damage with precision and determine the safest and most cost-effective solution. In Burbank, we handle everything from minor scuffs to complete bumper replacements, always restoring the vehicle’s original safety performance and look.
