Bumper covers, two bumpers sets or reversible bumpers?

If said device costs 10x more to manufacture than a simpler solution integrating COTS parts, and only performs 10% better, that's poor engineering. - Cory [more]

Bumper covers, two bumpers sets or reversible bumpers?

we're having a bit of heated discussion regarding which bumper style to go with:

Rigidly attached bumpers with a removeable "skirt" in a different color
Two sets of rigidly attached bumpers, each in a different color

Or maybe you have a different idea?

Each idea has it's pros and cons, and I have my own opinion on which is best, but i'd like to hear from others in order to get a fresh perspective on the discussion...

Thanks!
