Depends on what you are using them with.

Here is the Pro-Line did for the guys running an AX10 chassis and turning it into a scaler

Bolts right up

mounting the bumper to a body is pointless,non-functional, and for looks only. If you hit something, all its going to do is bend your body. If it is designed to bolt to the body, I would definetly find a way to bolt it to the chassis.

just my 2cents

It seems like a simple aluminum bracket could be fabbed up in the garage to mount to any chassis. When I get my bumpers I'll post some pics of how I mount them to my TCS X-trail chassis.
