My first car, a 1954 Ford Customline, had nice heavy bumpers that collected a fair share of dings and dents which were of no real concern. Today, bumper "covers" get a crease and it's $$$.I did put a very noticeable dent in front bumper cover last summer. Parked the vehicle in another location, and when I returned from shopping, the Sun had heated the cover up and dent was gone.
