Are you selling those? I've seen them on eBay along with the Optima bumpers.

The Optima bumpers are nice but at $46 a pop plus shipping, it's a bit pricy for a piece of aluminum. Besides, I wonder if it's really a good idea to merely substitute a rigid alloy bumper for the original, which was meant to flex & bend to absorb bumps?

I thought the same thing. They're basically just a show piece. It would be cool if they were made out kydex or something to be functional.
