How durable is the Fiberwerks Evo II bumper?
Has anyone tested (intentionally or otherwise) the durability of the Fiberwerks Evo II bumper? I understand there is a metal bar where the bumper is suppose to be. How solid, compared to stock,is this reinforcement? Are the shock absorbers used for the installation?

I've bottomed mine out on a dip in the road once. It scratched up the bottom lip but didn't crack the piece. The metal reinforcement is thin metal. It is definitely not a functional replacement for the stock bumper but works fine to support the fiberglass piece. You will need to add a few more brackets to help hold the piece on the car securely, especially near the side markers. And no, the stock bumper absorbers are not used.
