Embodiments of a vehicle bumper reinforcement system comprise bumper fascia configured to couple to a vehicle body and operable to deform in response to a collision, a bumper reinforcement beam operable to couple to a vehicle body at a position spaced underneath the bumper fascia, and a bumper reinforcement extension disposed on a top edge of the bumper reinforcement beam, wherein the bumper reinforcement extension extends within a portion of the spacing between the bumper reinforcement beam and the bumper fascia. The bumper fascia is configured to deform and contact the bumper reinforcement beam and the bumper reinforcement extension in response to a collision, the position of the bumper reinforcement extension below the bumper being configured to reduce the deformation distance of the bumper fascia.
