Hello there
My Father in Law is going to the US by the end of this month. I had an idea that he could bring the OEM bumper covers back and I could get reproductions for you guys made here.. What do you think...Any volunteers.. And anyone want anything light.. (shipping free since he would carry it)..Even non cruiser related, do let me know.
Thanks
Ehsan

What is the bumper cover? (I'll ask a dumb question cause' I don't know it all )

If you are talking about those stamped tin bumper ends that came from the factory on piggies then count me in for a set.

HA HA! The first thing I thought of was some chrome hood spears. Then I pictured a Pakistani man trying to go thru the airport metal detector with long metallic objects and realized he'd never get out of the country!

Ehsan, can't your father-in-law put these items in his checked luggage, rather than carry-on? If they'll fit, then I don't see why he couldn't take them with him. I fly fairly frequently, and the carry on luggage is what really gets scrutinized. Of course, the checked luggage can also be opend and inspected, but some harmless items like this shouldn't cause any concern.

The best way to assure you receive them would, of course, be by shipping through DHL.
