What body kits allow for crash bar retention and offer an undertray solution as well. I'm having trouble finding a replacement front bumper that provideds this features. I own an VIII and was looking into the CWEST and JUN fascias for now but I can't see if the crash bar stays. I really like this.

 

Bump for some help

 

The Voltex Front keeps the crash bar and offers their own undertray but is pricey...

 

have a metal shop fab you a tubular crash beam. its really not expensive. much less than the Cusco brace...

you can find metal here (if you need it):
www.industrialmetalsupply.com

then just go to a welding/fabricator shop with your new bumper, and have them fab somthing up that will clear the IC, and work with the bumper.

also, iirc, the Cwest (real) bumper works with the OEM undertray, and the beatrush/carbing

 

I have the C-west and had the bumper cut around the beam because I wasn't willing to sacrifice it either. It actually came out looking really sharp. Sadly I don't have pictures YET but will be getting it back here in a week or two and will post up.

Looking forward to see some shots of the modifications allowing retention of the front bumper.
Hope to see your shots soon Tom.

 

The real c-west and jun front bumpers both work with the undertray, but do not work with the crash beams. You will have to have something fabricated to get it to work.

 

Voltex do not fit with USDM front crash beam. sorry

Matter of fact, None of the JDM aftermarket bumpers fit with USDM front crash beam because there's no such things as front bumper crash beam in Japan.

Just take that front bumper beam off and be a man about it. Kamikaze style!

 

Well I read that the bar is rated for 5mph. Can anyone confirm this. So yes maybe removing it might not be as bad as it sounds, hoping that in case of an accident the adjuster dont recognize the missing bar throughout the damage.
As far as the undertray, I hope that the bumper above can retain the undertray, I would assume that my engine stays cleaner and it provides an aerodynamic advantage.
I'm digging the bumper above and don't see anyone really running it. Want to do something different. The cwest, although played out, it is still a very aggresive piece nevertheless.

 

TRUTH Bumper? yeah they are rare

We just got one for a customer last week.. I will post some pix later after we get it to fit w/ ARC FMIC..

 

That will look sick

 

Any pics of the TRUTH bumper yet?

Also, any other of the bumpers then just the JUN and C-West use the stock undertray?
