At the very most, an aluminum hoop with an angled support under it. Having said that, I've seen vids of card with no support whatsoever that do sag under acceleration. |

looks like a stout piece. I wonder if that is as strong or stronger than the factory piece, if you were in a fender bender? (low mph of course) Just a thought.. |

No reason,except if you hit the wall at 100+ mph, plus no sag in the nosepiece. |
i didnt think of how much stronger the chromemoly would be... thats a good point... save ur motor if u get in a bad head on crash with the wall... but i just cant swing $250 on a measly front bumper support at the moment... maybe if it was $100 or $75 i would def buy it... |

Dude, if you hit a wall at 100mph the bumper support is the last thing you need to worry about. :gtfo: |

Thanks bro, i'd appreciate it! Yeah I agree, $250 seems a little steep for the support. My main thing is I dont want the bumper to warp at high speeds. |

Actually I think burkhart and other places are more than $250.00 on thier supports and that is without powder coating. I guess to each thier own. I did this for my car more for the impact side of it and to keep the nose from sagging also. I am sure there are things out there that will just keep the nose from sagging that are alot cheaper. I guess it is all in what you want.:D |

Id buy one at $100 but I understand your time and skills arent free either. If you are ever able to afford to make them and sell them cheap, add me to the list :pimp: |
