Re: legality of bolt and screw heads breaking plane of chassis meeting bumpers

Why would I interpret this in this way?

1) Because the definition doesn't explicitly say the bolt head exclusion is limited the bumper zone area.
It says that the frame perimeter is defined inside the bumper zone (first sentence).
