ALL of the collision information given on their website is total and complete bull and will probably cost someone their life, at least their car. do not believe that replacing an engineered reinforcement with absorber that is designed to absorb collison engery with a 1INCH DIAMETER STEEL PIPE is a good thing. the bar sits further in than the liftgate, meaning that the reinforcement will not protect the liftgate as mentioned in thier site. if you install this, be aware that in a rear end collision, even a light one, your car will suffer ALOT more damage than with a factory bumper setup. rear body panel replacements and liftgates are not CHEAP on these cars. If i could, I would have their collision information BANNED from the internet and replaced with a WARNING about increased damage potential and increased risk on injury. as for the front bumperette kits......death trap. removing the front reinforcement affects AIRBAG TIMING, meaning that you will bounce off your steering wheel before or after the airbag goes off in the event of a front end collision. the 1 INCH STEEL BAR does NOT negate the damage like they claim it does. sorry to go off like this, but being a collision tech, i have to sound the warning bell when something aint kosher.
It sucks how one uninformed man can make such harmfull statements about the safty of my parts and without having seen them hold up in an accedent. I have seen more than a hundred crashed pts through my bodyshop and have many endorsements from insurance esimaters and customers to the amazing way Pteazer parts compaired to factory in an accident.WE HAVE HAD ZERO COMPLAINTS IN ALLMOST TEN YEARS.Its a free country at least for the moment,Ray, pteazer.
