T-Bar Bumper, Chrome, for Beetle 56-67, Pair

EMPI Chrome T-Bar Bumpers for 1956-1967 VW Beetle

Product Overview

Upgrade your classic Volkswagen with these sleek, custom-style chrome T-bar bumpers. Designed to replace bulky stock bumpers and brackets, these lightweight nerf bars offer a slim, modern look that is popular in the custom VW scene. These bars provide a clean aesthetic while significantly reducing front and rear weight. Each set includes a pair of T-bars that can be used on either the front or the rear of the vehicle.

Vehicle Fitment and Compatibility

These T-bars are specifically designed for 1956 through 1967 Standard Beetles. Because they utilize the original bumper bracket mounting points, they provide a direct fit for both the front and rear of the vehicle. Please note that these are intended for Standard models and are not compatible with Super Beetles or models produced after 1967 without significant modification.

Pro Tech Tips for Installation

Check Your Seals: When removing the stock bumper brackets, inspect the bumper bracket seals. It is the perfect time to replace old, cracked rubber to prevent moisture from entering the fender wells and causing rust.

Hardware Inspection: Use high-quality mounting hardware for the installation. Since these T-bars bolt directly into the chassis area, ensure your mounting threads are clean and free of debris for a secure, vibration-free fit.

Chrome Maintenance: To maintain the high-luster finish of your new chrome T-bars, apply a coat of quality wax or chrome polish immediately after installation. Regular cleaning will protect the finish against road salt, moisture, and pitting.
