Abstract
A vehicle bumper system, having an elongated reinforcing member extending substantially across the width of the vehicle. The reinforcing member has a hollow cross section and an attaching surface. A hollow, blow molded bumper, at least partially envelopes the reinforcing member and is secured to the attaching surface. The bumper extends across the width of the vehicle and defines a space between the reinforcing member and the outer edge of the vehicle. The bumper compresses the space when the bumper system contacts an obstacle. Attaching posts on the inner portion of the reinforcing member secures the bumper system to the vehicle.
