Impreza Bumpers

I live in a big city with parallel parking, and people don't know how
to drive or park. All the cars have marks or dents on the bumpers,
even in the center. I'm going to get an Impreza wagon, and going to
put the add on stripping all over, not just the corners like Sube
sells. Hope they protect the taillights. Wondering what is behind the
bumpers to reinforce them? I have seen metal supports, that look like
they back up the flat surfaces, and I have seen older cars that had
foam, if I remember right, on top of the steel support. If there isn't
much behind the cover corners, I'd like to fill it with some kind of
foam. I have a car with metal bumpers and shocks, and got tired of
having to bang them out with a 3' pipe and 5lb hammer, on the back of
the bumper, to push them back out, beating for about 10min. I put
pieces of 2x3"'s between the bumpers and frame, and they don't get
pushed in now. The plastic end caps are bent and torn.

I have a shop manual but I can't find the bumpers.
