A front end structure is disclosed for a vehicle to enhance vehicle compatibility performance. The front end structure includes a bumper disposed behind a front fascia panel. Crush cans are attached between the bumper and a frame rail. A shield is attached to the bumper that extends above the bumper and below the bumper to spread deformation caused by the crush cans and bumper of a deformable barrier in a collision to areas above and below the bumper.
