ABSTRACT:
A one-piece blow molded bumper end cap is provided for use in combination with a vehicle bumper assembly. The bumper end cap functions as an end plug to enhance air flow into the engine compartment when used in combination with a flow-through bumper. The bumper end cap also includes structural features which improve the crashworthiness of the bumper system in lower speed corner impacts, as well as, higher speed frontal impacts.
