if the rebar was there, just not the cover i don’t see why it would be illegal. the cover is there for aesthetic purposes only. this would be like saying any truck or old car that just has a steel bumper is illegal. its the same thing. i’d def. question it if it were me.

apparently a plastic bumpercover will protect a pedestrian when you run them over, unlike on a truck with a steel bumper…
