Crash beam removal?
I did remove my crash beams on my 03 but I never had an accident.
I am thinking about removing them on my 06.
I just want to know if anyone has a horror story about them being removed.
Has anyone had an insurance claim denied because they were not in place?
I understand that if you do hit something slowly the damage is likely to be more severe than It would have been with the supports in place.

I don't understand why everyone is worried about claims being denied. Claims get denied for felony acts while operating motor vehicles, not from removing a bumper beam.

Replace with this?
JDM Bumper?
I heard that the crash beam only really helps at low speeds so I wouldn't see a reason not to remove it.
Are you going for weight reduction?

Trust me, I've done a 5mph crash (rolled down a slight incline for 5ft) into the back of a bmw 7-series. Front crash bar took out my IC, fan and radiator. You will lose them either way. Only damage to the bmw was that the grill mesh imprinted on his bumper cover.
