An energy-absorbing structure includes first and second components. The first component includes a polymer and a plurality of reinforcing fibers disposed therein. The first component includes first bumper and crush member portions respectively defined by first and second walls. The second wall projects from and is integrally formed with the second wall. At least some of the fibers continuously extend between the first and second walls. The second component includes the polymer and a plurality of reinforcing fibers. The second component includes second bumper and crush member portions respectively defined by third and fourth walls. The fourth wall projects from and is integrally formed with the third wall. At least some of the fibers continuously extend between the third and fourth walls. The first and second components are joined. The first and third walls cooperate to define a bumper. The second and fourth walls cooperate to define a crush member.
