If you’re worried about keeping the car’s frame undamaged, like @ said, let the OEM bars do their job. They’re designed to be strong enough for small impacts, but weak enough to give in when the loads are higher. It’s a fine balance and I would only trust it to the people that have had the entire car model in FEA software.
