About Custom Bumpers and Racks in Newport Beach
Custom bumpers and racks are fabricated in steel and aluminum with the load path into vehicle structure verified first. Newport Beach builds are coated for coastal corrosion resistance as standard.
Bumpers and racks are where fabrication meets structural engineering, because both carry load into a vehicle that was not designed for it. A rear bumper with a receiver and a spare carrier applies leverage to the frame every time you hit a bump. A roof rack loads a surface engineered to hold nothing but its own weight. We design the load path before we design the part.

Insurance Notes
Aftermarket fabrication is a common claim dispute. Documenting the build at the time it is done converts a contested modification into an established one.
We bill direct with every major carrier and hold direct repair relationships with several. Read how the claim process works or the 25 things carriers do not tell you about RV and van claims.
