rear bumper reinforcement bar

[s13bert]

Ok here is my question, if you are to get rearended and minor damage was done to the bumper, does the reinforcement bar work anymore, or would a new one have to be purchased?????

a better question to ask is "why wouldnt it work". take this question to yahoo answers.

If the reinforcement bar is damaged (as it is intended to be in a collision) then it should be replaced with an undamaged one.

Just rip the bar off. Weight reduction.

hahahaa louie you funny foo,
wouldn't that be a bad thing is you daily the car...

[Freise]

Just give it a good going over, if it's severely bent or cracked or damaged it may be worth it to get a new one. I wouldn't recommend removing it on a dd since that bar is basically what makes your bumper a bumper; otherwise, if someone rear ends you they are running into the much softer parts of your car and will probably cost you more in damages to other things.
