my buddy is in construction and he came across a building contractor that replaces less-than-par fire extinguishing systems to get buildings up to code. That's where we get ours.

You use building contractors for bumpers??

I take it you used sprinkler system pipes and made your own brackets? What diameter pipe did you get and did you do both front and rear bumpers?
