glad you are ok......at least you didnt have any major injuries and you walked away fine.

just a quick question, did you happen to have a rear bumper support on that JDM rear bumper?

The rear bumper support helps in crashes less than 10 MPH, this is not an example.

Glad to hear your doing ok, rest/feel better and then get an ix.

thanks, thats great. my question was if the owner of the car had one, and it has still not been answered. i didnt ask the mph rating of the crash beam if i need to be specific.

wow.....does it in any of my posts say that you would have had less damage in the event if you had a rear crash beam? people on the internet dont know how to comprehend much, huh? ALL I ASKED WAS IF YOU HAD ONE ON THE CAR OR NOT. I DIDNT SAY THAT YOUR CAR WOULDNT HAVE HAD ANY MORE OR LESS DAMAGE. what dont you understand about that?

Looking at rear of the car with no bumper or crash beam , there is not a whole lot there but the rear trunk wall. I modded then reinforced a spare beam and reinstalled it after my bumper swap (looks stock). I feell better having somthing there than just a 1/8" thick piece of sexy jdm plastic. Low speed = good, high speed=better than nothing.
