WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF BUMPERSHELLZ?

Think of BumperShellz like vinyl wrap 2.0.  You get the advantages of being able to change the look of your truck without causing permanent damage, all while getting the additional benefits of a custom fitted product. 

  • Protects bumper unlike wraps or plastidip
  • Won't peel off like paints and wraps
  • Cheaper than replacement bumper or professional paint
  • Covers dents and rust that paint and wrap can't
  • Easy installation -  install it yourself saving time and money


HOW ARE BUMPERSHELLZ MADE?

Bumpershellz are made using a thermoforming process to ensure exact fitment to your vehicle. Plastic Sheet is placed into our thermo-former, where it is vacuumed down over our custom built molds. After it emerges from the machine, the part is hand-wrapped in a protective film to keep it flawless until it is ready to be packaged up. The molds are then cut out, either by CNC or by hand. All finishing work is done by hand to ensure the best fit. The 3M double sided tape is then added along with any trim if needed, or other specifications such as sensor holes, or fog lamp pockets. During the final stage, parts are checked for quality and then polished prior to being shipped.

WHAT ARE THEY MADE FROM?

eCOOLogical uses high-impact ABS plastic to make their bumper covers.  ABS is known for its resistance to corrosive elements and physical impacts.  This makes it a perfect candidate for our bumper covers.  The colors are pre-laminated on the sheet of ABS plastic before we mold them into bumper covers.  This gives the color a flawless smooth  look without the seams that you get with vinyl wraps.


HOW ARE THEY INSTALLED?

BumperShellz are designed to be a DIY modification. We have gone to great lengths to make the install as easy as possible. BumperShellz install by tucking under your truck's trim, and are secured by strips of 3M's highest quality acrylic foam tape to ensure they stay attached. Most of our bumper covers install in less than 30 minutes.  That means that you can keep your hard earned dollars instead of paying a shop for the installation.

WHAT COLOURS ARE BUMPERSHELLZ AVAILABLE IN?

BumperShellz are available in a variety of colours depending on the vehicle application. They are also available in a paintable finish in case your colour is not available. Armor-coated is a rugged coating applied to the product that uses spray in bedliner material for a rugged durable finish. Other standard colours are Gloss Black, Gloss White and Matte Black to match your vehicle's factory trim parts.

Are you wondering about the finish types on some BumperShellz and Tailgate skins?

Gloss Black is easy but what about Paintable, Armor-Coat, Textured and Matte Black? Although they are all black there are slight difference. Paintable is the base product colour. It is a shiny black but not as glossy as Gloss Black and may have some minor marks on it. It is designed to be painted but can also just be left Black. Paintable is also the least expensive finish. Matte black has a light texture and is meant to match factoy parts such as the bumper step pads and other plastic trim. Armor-Coated has a finish similar to a spray in bedliner, textured and rough. And Textured black is still available in a few applications but it being replaced my Armor-Coat due to the similar appearance.
