hey guys, just fitting up my bumper that i got and was wondering if i need to keep the bumper support, (rebar) in if i plan to take it to the track. not 100% on what they look for during their examination of your car. if you could post any other safety “must haves” other than the obvious, that would help too thanks. ---

pretty sure you need the rebar. i dont think its safe to remove that,especially if you crash at the track. why do you want to remove it :S weight? ---

Basically, if you remove the rebar, and get into any kind of front end collision, your car is toast. It’s a must have. ---

240’s are worthless… if you get in a front end accident, your car’s toast anyways but without the rebar, it will just be that much more toast. ---

That stuff is for small accidents, big accidents you’re screwed anyways. Oh and the bumper laws were changed, the jdm one is tinier. It’s useless in a real accident. Some good 10-30lbs of dead weight.
