You may want to ask the Q&A to verify that this is allowed. Currently it would appear to be prohibited by <R08>

.... To achieve this, BUMPERS must be constructed as described below and illustrated in Figure 8 – 1.
If you look at Figure 8-1 it includes the aluminum angle although the text itself makes no mention of the angle or specifications for it.

If you do sew it I would recommend also using staples on the back of the bumper to hold it in place. My team has used staples alone the past two years and never had a problem.
