Plus, it's better to bend a metal bar which can be replaced and bolted back on, than bend the chassis itself!!

I didn't realise the JDMs didn't have rear ones.

My fronts bumper bar definitely saved the radiator and engine from damage IMO and the chassis leg would have been obliterated without it. I'd never remove it.

When I fitted the amuse front bumper there are only bolts on the underneath, the top of the wings in the wheel arch and engine bay and along the top of the engine bay too, so in theory you could remove them with no sagging.
