Rear Aluminum crash bar - Save 30lbs
Heres a good way to take 30lbs off the Evo X . This bar weighs in at 6.4lbs VS the stock unit which is around 36lbs . These bars are made of re-enforced 6061 Aluminum which is not only lite weight but also very strong . The bars are not hollow , they're actually reinforced inside with another 6061 bar giving it max strength while keeping it lite . The first batch of these bars will be of ten units which is ready for shipping . Contact Us Via PM or E-mail with your orders .
Price : $355 Shipped within the US 48 states

Thanks for your post but actually try looking around at other like items you'll fine its a fair price . This is not a part to just hold your Plate lights in place , these are made of 6160 and thats never cheap .
heres a link to use as reference : http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/me...VO8_Suspension
And these two small parts are $140 and these are NOT 6160 but roll aluminum

And as I've said before these are not hollow .

How hard is it to install? Any modification have to be maid to get this bar to fit? In case of an accident will this better or worsen the impact damage? Replacing a crash bar seems kinda iffy to me...

This is a 100% bolt-on part and no modifications are needed . A "crash bar ' is there to keep the shape of a bumper and for 5mph impacts , its NOT there to give you any sort of protection for a high mph impact , one of the many times I learned from owing a body shop and seeing it first hand - like I told another guy if they wanted to protect us they would've giving us a metal one up front as well and not a 6 lb hollow Aluminum bar Most members just take them out and keep them off then just rigg-up the lights to work .

Well , thanks to our in-house "real world crash dummy" we have testing out a front Evo 9 crash bar . Hes a picture of it after it took down a road side poll at around 45 mph .
NOTE: by the way our new bars are 3/4" thicker , so we expect to be at least 40% stronger
