I believe it would be quite a rarity that a pedestrian would be hit in the spine by a DeLorean. Other body parts perhaps, but I doubt the spine. I don't think there is a liability or safety issue here. Corvette aftermarket suppliers such as Eckler's in Titusville, Florida, along with a host of others, have been offering replacement rigid fiberglass "bumper covers" for Corvettes for years. These rigid fiberglass "restoration" components are identical in appearance to far more expensive urethane "reaction injection molding" process, or R.I.M. for short, bumper covers. As an aside, it is far easier to correctly paint the fiberglass reproductions than it is to correctly paint the molded urethane. Certainly it would be far less expensive to reproduce DeLorean fasciae in fiberglass than it would be in urethane. The one and only downside to the fiberglass reproductions is that they are, of course, unforgiving to a "little bump" on the "bumper". That's the tradeoff. Years ago I installed fiberglass reproduction "bumper covers" on my 1974 Corvette roadster (the first year for the federally mandated both front-and-rear "no-damage crash at 5 MPH") and haven't had a mishap since! Caveat! I would not recommend fiberglass fasciae for any "daily driver" where the car is subjected to commercial parking lots or parallel parking on the street. I don't know if DeLorean used the same R.I.M. process for the DeLorean fasciae as GM did through 1982, but guess where JZD was when the R.I.M. process was originally developed, approved, and adopted by GM?
