Poll: What's under your JDM IX rear bumper?

I wanted to see how many people either modify their OEM rear crash beam, fabricate or purchase a complete new crash beam setup, or totally ditch the crash beam and risk it.

I know I ran several Honda's without crash beams, front or rear, for that matter, but considering a different path for my Evo.

I've been looking seriously at JDM rears now. I'm gonna pay someone to modify my crash beam when I do go that route. Safety just isn't something I feel I should cut corners on. There are a few guys offering to do it for like 2 hours worth of labor which is a reasonable cost IMO.
