I can agree with you there completely. And my whole mind around this bar is to protect the car at fender benders and at race events. For a daily driver, the OEM crash bar might be the better choice. but until someone is willing to front end crash test their new drift armor, the world will never know how much difference there will be.. also keeping intact all the other multiple crash crumple zones, it isn't too much of a change.
