Starting to learn I need to keep even constructive criticism to myself, seems all I do is piss off all the "pros".
There's just a lot of mis information out there man...
Speaking of which post one is way off on one of it's weight listings...Rear deck cover is not 10lbs, it's like 2-3lbs..
Anyway, you're right that an A/M is better then nothing...If you want a FMIC, you cannot use your stock bar...It's just that all the prefab cost well over $100...You could go to any welding shop and have them make you something for $50 TOPS...I doubt there's any accurate data out there about how well A/M crashbars do in a crash, but I'll give a semi-educated guess and say A/M bars are only 20% as strong as stock...
