Bumpers are made to interface with your specific bot, so making a generic bumper to go with the kit frame wouldn't be much help. Even for teams that use the kit frame, teams use different mounting holes, as well as long vs. wide drive orientation, so full bumpers in the kit wouldn't be much use.

For example, my team used the kit frame this year. Our bumper mounts had to be moved for IRI because of an improvement that needs the mounting points the bumpers used.

However the fabric would be useful.

And how to build a robot instructions would be nice
