As long as it's not with your JDM bumper

Just get the OEM fabbed to fit, and you'll be safer.

Before you start calling people 'stupied,' it may be a good idea to check your spelling and grammar.

if someone rear ends you, they have to pay for it anyway. why be concerned about repair costs?

If insurance realizes you were running without you will likely be f'd (insurance weasels will find any reason not to pay). I personally don't know of any 5 mph rear-enders though. I have only been hit at higher speed (at least 20) and so has anyone I have ever known that has been rear-ended. Hell, I rear-end my beeitch at more than 5mph!

This is why I decided to take 5 minutes and modify my stock crash bar

I've never done it myself, but see the pic on the 2nd page to get an idea of what needs to be done.
