Default Do they still sell those front nose protectors for urethane nose cars?

Ive seen a large license plate mount nose extension years ago for the front. help protect the pointy nose from small bumps. Im thinking of buying one or making something similar out of steel.

Anyone have pics or the name of them.

Its like this:

But it is shaped like the pointy corvette nose and sticks out like an inch. and only top half of frame. to protect the paint.

Nice battering ram. That makes parallel parking easy. Man, that's ugly.

I had completely forgotten about those nose bumpers until you posted that pic. Not real beautiful, but certainly saves the tip of the nose. Post a pic for us after you install it.
