| 20090218787 | PROTECTIVE AND DECORATIVE FAUX VEHICLE BUMPER COMPONENT - A faux vehicle bumper component includes an elongated body panel having a pair of receivers or connectors at spaced apart locations therealong adapted to engage a pair of spikes or prongs from a tow bar connecting system protruding generally from the grill area of an associated vehicle to be towed. The receivers or connectors are adjustably secured to the body panel in order to accommodate different or varied spacings of the spikes or prongs and/or different types and styles of vehicles. Releasable fasteners are used for selectively securing the associated spikes or prongs to the receivers or connectors. Installation of the faux bumper component eliminates a potentially hazardous condition that exists when the spikes or prongs are exposed during a non towed condition of the vehicle. | 09-03-2009 |
