I'm sure these wouldn't be difficult to draft up in a program like Autocad or SolidWorks, and give to a machine shop and have some custom made. Hell, you could even get your custom team name laser-engraved in them if you really wanted to.

Am I the only one getting excited here, as if high school shenanigans/aimless-good-times were in the works again?

Far from myth busted.

The bumper beam is supposed to take the brunt of the impact, so it will fold first. Make the front end more solid and it's going to cause more damage. It just makes sense.

I'd say you were just in a lucky accident. I mean, not even scuffs on the front bumper skin says that it couldn't have been that much damage up front anyway.

As far as the other guy who said he didn't see a difference, I don't know, maybe his front end was in general better shape than a lot of the other cars that are using these? These cars are getting old. Bushings wear out, things get lose. It's gonna happen. :(
my car was not unscathed. i had scuffs on the front and rear bumpers, despite it being a straight on blunt force collision. the car hit me from behind (:naughty:) doing maybe 8-10mph, and i then hit the car in front of me doing 5-7mph. the only myth i think was busted is the premature activiation of the airbag during a mild collision

I'm saying you were in a minor collision. Bumper scuffs aren't much, but it's what I'd expect for a 5-7mph collision.

Now, if you were in a 25mph collision then perhaps that would be enough. 40mph or so is plenty to total a car, but lower than that might bring you into territory where there would normally be some damage, but the frame locks could possibly cause more.

They are a good product, back when i got them i believe they were either 160 or 180 with the tools included in the price, 10 refund if you returned the tools. its much better than a strut tower bar for sure. just have to be more careful not to smash your front end. but if youre a good driver, and are lucky, that wont happen.

install was super easy, install manual was clearly written with pictures, packaging was great, fits right under your bumper so youll forget, like i tend to do, that it is there because it fits flush. definitely had better traction. dont know what else to say. people used to offer to buy mine off me lol.
