For the scion frs, does installing the support rods remove the crash absorber foam that would sit infront of the crash bar? In the scenario for a daily driver, that's not a part I would not want to remove.
That foam piece is strictly for low-speed collisions around 5 mph. With a splitter installed, I would worry more about the splitter getting destroyed in a low-speed collision than the front bumper. You can also trim around the foam absorber and keep it intact if you would like.
@@VerusEngineering hmmm so for a daily driver application, would you say the support rods are necessary? I do not track this car. I do spirited drives every now and then on my regular commutes.
@@Gaammbit If you plan to drive the car above 80 mph, the support rods are considered necessary as the front splitter sees a decent amount of downforce above 80 mph. You don't have to run them, but they are highly advised.
@@VerusEngineering Okay noted. That's 128 km/h for my region. Hmm. I just definitely want to have the Crash Bar Absorber on my car at the same time. Your splitter uses all OEM locations underneath and that's a plus. It's also functional in addition to stylish. I would pair it with your rear diffuser for better gas mileage in my daily commute and also for the looks lol. I just want to make sure I retain my OEM safety, such as the crash bar absorber in this case.
Don't see why not. A lot of the guys that run aftermarket bash bars, use high tensile strength cable ties to mount the crash beam brackets on their bash bar.
