Really? I'm unaware of the differences in

bumper crap that cracks and caves in if you look at a car bumper the
wrong way" it also has a 5/8" thick skid plate underneath - very
important so as not to damage the undercarriage when going over
another vehicle ;-)
Building something like a tank is not the optimum way of protecting
the occupants in a crash. In an accident, the most squishy bits tend
to fare the worse - and guess what they are? :-)
