I can't believe many owners would use the quick jacks as you'd have to have the jacking device. If anybody has one, please chime in. I bet you are a very small minority of Cobra owners. Those quick jack plates might offer a little protection for the body, but they look like they might bend to the side. There's so many vaiables involved such a speed of contact, angle, etc. to predict what would happen. Overriders, being round in cross section probably add a little more protection to the nose of the car. More protection is available with the bars connected to the overrider mounts. Up to a point, anything bolted to the frame is better than the fiberglass or aluminum contacting an object at low speed. Going back to the guy on Kit Autobody Experience, his totally dummy quick jacks were bolted to the fiberglass body itself. Any big force, like bumping into a wall while parking, would easily crack the fiberglass, maybe even making two holes completely dislodging the quick jack tubes.
