Flush Trunklid/ safety bumpers

Also called 'zero offset' bumpers. Lincoln is using them as well as Acura and some others.
I was using this first I believe on my Large Luxury Coupe GM Concepts. This comprised on a flush trunk lid with no bumper protruding sill. The bumper is made of Polyurethane line the rest of the bumper, yet the rear vertical piece is back by energy absorbing cells. In effect, the trunk lid becomes part of the bumper system.
