I doubt it because it does not meet US safety requirements.

Anyone that knows
me knows I'm a weight "weenie", but bumper beams is not where I'd look to save weight (especially with a FMIC). $$$ vs weight vs safety, I'd look elsewhere.

Hey, hugh, I got one from subaruparts.com for like 70 bucks shipped or something around there. It's ULTRA light though. I can pick it up with a pinky. Be warned that it WILL be useless even a fender bender. It's a good mod, especially if your already know how your car handles. You can kinda feel the difference. Or it could all be in my mind. =D

yeah...i thought i've seen it for $70 somewhere....i have to get the front because i'm going front mount and my C-west kit is coming in this friday...i don't feel like hacking a bumper beam....i rarely drive my car anymore so i figure it won't be that bad...knock on wood...
