The age old question - bumper mounting

[ksafin]

Hey all.

We've suffered from difficult-to-mount bumpers for the past two years and wanted some input.

How does your team do it? Are there great ways to do it?

ALSO, what's the best way of making bumpers - IE, make each side a separate piece? Make the whole thing somehow 1 unit? Make a U-shape that's 3 sides to slide on, and then finish off by mounting the last side? What has the best balance of aesthetic appeal and ease-of-mounting?

As for mounting, I keep seeing something like a shallow aluminum c shape onto which bumpers slide onto, which I can't for the life of me understand!

Thanks.
