[QUOTE="86merc, post: 13295388, member: 82554"] It is nice to see JPC not just pushing an item for sales. Props to them. It is amazing what forces the crash bumpers absorb at even a 5 mph crash. The light weight bumpers will transfer that energy directly to the frame rails and core support in an accident. That can cause a lot of damage that you might not see with the OE equipment on there. I think for a street car the risk does exceed the reward by installing them. At least in my mind. And I think an insurance adjuster might take issue if he saw the OE crash parts were removed. Especially if damage was extensive because of the light weight bars. Again, the risk exceeds the rewards there as well. Again, to me that is. But anyone looking to install a light weight set up I have seen the JPC stuff and it is nice and fits well. [/QUOTE]
