Whats the Best way to do Bumpers?

During our Monday meeting my team got to talking about last years bumpers. We concluded that although our bumpers worked quite well, there were better ways to do them. I was charged with finding a past thread on the subject if one existed, and starting a new thread in the event that it didn't. I didn't see one so here goes...

I'm basically wondering:

1: How did your team do your bumper mounting or otherwise? (I know there is that very cool flip method.)

2: What was the best bumper mounting you saw during the season, I'm talking about either functionality or looks. (on the killer bees we're all about looking good.)


To get the discussion rolling: my team made pretty standard bumpers which attached to the frame via 1" aluminum L bracket and some... I'll call them easy bolts for lack of a better term as they could be screwed and unscrewed quickly be hand. However, we had 8 different bumper parts which were kind of cumbersome. (4 red 4 blue)


Thanks in advance, this will be a great help.
