I was wondering why isn't anyone making bash bars that go over the bumper covers so that it'll protect the body/paint from taking damage from wall taps or crashes.

Something like this for the rear:

And creating something similar for the front in case of a failed wall tap

I usually don't just lightly tap into things. I either miss them or slam into them, where a couple pieces of tubing would not help me.

Yeah for drifting, I guess I could see, but for other racing, I'm not sure they'd be allowed.
