World's first HD plastic reinforcement bar
I was looking for a lighter replacement to replace the front crossmember with some strength. I thought I saw one for sale for a fit once, but I couldn't find anything but a replacement rear reinforcement from aj-racing.
Using my imagination at work and our new 3 axis router I found some utlra high density plastic and cut one to the length of the front crossmember. Don't ask me about performance difference but I am looking at a jdm body kit and I wanted something thin to replace the support I took off. This piece is very ridgid and light, I thought I might make one for the rear too. I love free mods! http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pictureox8.jpg https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/%5Bu...=%5D%5B/url%5D |
how strong is this plastic?
might be lighter but hope it holds up in a fender bender |
nothing will replace the rigidity of cold hard steel!!

BTW JDM bodykits wont fit the US front.
