Bumper Guards: Would anyone be interested?

Hey guys, I'm going to have some bumper guards made up for my car @ A-Spec. I know I've seen many people ask about them in the past and no one really makes any. I spoke with Sean about maybe making a bunch for you guys and he said he wouldn't have a problem with it. How many of you may be interested?


Also, my bumper is an S5, so these would be for S5 bumpers. I don't know if the contours on the S4 bumpers are the same or not, from pics it looks like the S5 has more curves in that area than the S4. If we can get an S4 bumper I'm sure sean wouldn't have a problem making some for S4s too. Anyone have an S4 and S5 bumper that can compare and let me know if they are in fact different in that area?

I'll have pics of mine as soon as they are done.

I think hes talking about a rear bumper exhaust guard that helps protect your rear bumper from melting because of the exhaust.

I believe they will be made out of aluminum.

Well mine won't be very noticable after they are done because mine will have the faces ceramic coated black. There are various colors that they can be coated with. Annodizing may be a good way to make them blend into your car better but that may be something you will have to get done yourself. I chose ceramic because of its heat resistant characteristics, while it may be overkill it couldn't hurt.


*edit*
I saw a pic of an FC on here a few days ago with a bumper guard, the pic was from the side and you couldn't see it too well. I can't find the pic now. I thought it was in the pics thread on a red FC but since the thread got trimmed I can't find it now. Chances are they will look very much like the guard on that FC.
