I didn't mean to make it seem like I was singling you out for having the part installed, I felt some more detail was appropriate because OP seems to have bought the car in the state that it is and may not be aware of what they have on their hands. I highly doubt Im the only one with performance parts, or any part that makes the car to cross the line. It could be CARB legal, but in the eyes of many insurance policies, adding any performance part will either raise the price of your premium, or get you kicked out. By installing a supercharger, turbo, or any performance part that your local state deems illegal.Īdding yet another part to a vehicle that already contains so many things that deem it illegal, is kind of the risk we all take when purchasing parts. For example, by installing headers, my warranty gets void. But just like performance parts, we all take a risk. Like being denied an insurance claim if I ever get rear-ended.

Yes, it is my choice, and there are consequences to it. Like x808drifter said, one of those consequences is that your insurance may choose to not honor your coverage with these parts installed. On average, each bar contains roughly 250 calories, 10 grams of protein, 5 to 7 grams of fat, up to 5 grams of fiber, and around 40 grams of carbs. But know that the responsibility of the potential consequences of that choice is also yours. If it’s good enough for the Germans it’s good enough for me. My personal general rule is: if it’s TUV certified, go nuts.

This isn’t in any way similar to running spacers. Once again they are marketed as track only for a reason.
#Jacking up on bashbar mods
Putting your fingers in your ears and saying ‘La La La it’s my choice’ doesn’t change the fact that these types of mods have real consequences in the real world. The stock bumper set up was made to minimize injuries in all these scenarios. Whether that’s another car, a truck, or a toddler on a triycle. Running non-factory crash structure, or eliminating the crash structure altogether as these bars do, makes the car more dangerous to you and anyone that you potentially hit or are hit by.

You can say it’s your choice and it doesn’t affect anyone else all you want, the point is that IT DOES.
