bumper pole

[sleepygreen]

hey totally nOOb question,... Whats a bumper pole? whats is it used for and how rare are ther?

[PUMASTi]

The bumper pole was designed to aid drivers park in tight spots and know exacly where the front end of the car is.

They're rare but not that hard to find, they pop up in the classifieds section and ebay every other day.

^ What he said, useless IMO all you get are JDM points...

[Saysana13b]

He sorta gave a reason why they have bumper poles so IMO its useless in the states.

I can absolutely see the use for these. What to do is mount it opposite the way they were mounted in Japan. Instead of mounting it on the left side of the car, mount it on the right.

It'll be functional if nothing else. Besides, then if a girl walks by with a skirt, just power up the pole and hook on it and watch it come right off

[Scubasteve_dan]

Random statement, but did you ever watch dragon ball? POWERPOLE EXTEND! lol

[sleepygreen]

i like the skirt idea,...wow dats pretty neat i think it would be usefull around my place cuz parking is small and everybody here double parks

[bcjammerx]

...are you kidding me? Bumping bumpers doesn't hurt paint or anything if your barely moving...it's a fact of parellel parking, it happens...but no harm no foul...this has got to be the most lame thing I've ever seen HA HA HA
oh...

IMO of course...

I saw one and I thought...why the hell would you put your antenna there?

HA HA HA

oh yeah...love the dbz reference...

OK I have decided that I'm gonna geta bumper pole but mount it so it sticks out in front...maybe angle it up a bit...see a hottie...power pole extend

ooo ooo...why not put like 20 on your bumper!!! That would be soo cool

"DON'T KNOW HOW TO PARK...THE BUMPER POLE WILL HELP!"

[JoshM]

Wow. That last post was very confusing.


But, I personally don't like the look of the bumper pole. Sure, it's super JDM, but I wouldn't want it on my car.

[H23Accord]

I saw the use of it but I realize that I really don't need it (being the perfect driver/parker that I am in all ). As mentioned above it is used for parking in tight places. I will probably sell the one I have since i won't be using it. If you are interested let me know. I think I might still even have the switch.

[JoshM]

Then post it in the classifieds section. You'll have it sold in no time.

[bcjammerx]

well...hey...if you like it then no one can knock it really

[RyanHartC2]

I guess the bumper pole is a love - hate sort of mod. I personally think it looks good, but wouldn't want to worry if someone is going to walk by my car and yank it off.....

There are a few owners here on the site..myself included. You really see the use when youre in tight spaces. Also as mentioned they surface at on ebay as well as here in the classfied section.

...I've been in several tight spaces NO problem...it's all about knowing your cars dimensions...plus...as previously mentioned...you don't hurt body pieces or paint with slight nudges
