Looks like a towel holder from Home Depot.

Re: New bumper option
Hadn’t seen those yet.
They don’t fit my aesthetic but I love that someone is thinking outside the box and making exactly what they want.

Looks nice, but the price is insanity.

I admire creativity, but I'm kinda with Steiny on this one, as my first thought was towel rack or ADA-compliant bathtub fixture.SteinOnkel wrote:Looks like a towel holder from Home Depot.

Re: New bumper option
I recommended this idea to several people over 10 years ago. Guys that were worried about running without bumpers but didn't want to use the big doubles or convert to earlys due to cost. A local race shop that builds roll cages can knock out a pair in about an hour.

Maybe Vick should contract that local race shop and sell them at a reasonable price. While the blade bumpers would be preferable, these aren't bad IMO.

Re: New bumper option
We already have 3 bumper options. Warehouse space for a 4th option might be hard to justify.
