I find it interesting that bumper guards are a desirable option. 
Everybody wants to have bumper guards. The problem is they interfere 
with the Corvair's naturally clean, smooth lines. That's the nice way 
of saying they look like crap. It's interesting to me that people 
overlook their ugliness just to have another option on their Corvair. 
I'll keep my nice, smooth, clean, bumpers. Your opinion may vary 
(depending on your level of taste).
