Default Front bumper rebar removal - anyone tried it?

Looking to see if anyone has actually tried it with adverse (or positive?) results.

Default I removed the front bumper piece (sits behind the bumper skin)

I have had no issues, I needed to remove it for my new front end, will not fit without it

Default Its a metal support >>>>

That sits behind the front bumper. From what I understand, its mostly for the sub 5mph accident laws......

Default I wouldn't do it. Your life is worth more than 25lbs of aluminum.

It may make a difference going 40 MPH head-on into a telephone pole.

Default Thank you for the constructive criticism >>>>

However, I am not looking to loose weight.

And what it is being replaced with should have just as much if not more impact resistance.

My questions was simply to find out if it would adversely effect chassis flex/response etc.

Default I remember GreyHaven7..>

once told me about a shop modifying that bumper bar to make his Dietrich bumper fit. Maybe that's an alternative?
