Default After Market Bumpers & Removal of Reinforcement Bar

So I tried searching, even tried searching in Google. No dice.

I am curious which after market front bumpers doesn't require the removal or modification of the reinforcement bar.

All owners of aftermarket bumpers please chime in. Post what aftermarket bumper you have and if you had to remove/modify or were able to keep the bar.

Thanks!

Only one I found out was the SL2 bumper required removal of the bar.

No bumper should require removal of the front or rear crash bar. The SL2 rear bumper because it's a 370Z style rear bumper on a 350Z.

A poor fitting bumper may require removal.. I have the aerosync sitting in my computer room waiting to be fitted. Along with JDM nismo sideskirts (shine replicas). Should be going to the body shop this week!

I have a replica Nismo v2 that does not require removal. Some people have reported that their Nismo v2 did require it removed.

wow really? which brand do you have? I thought going with Nismo V2 was the safest route since the designs based of an oem part. I have a freind with extreme dimensions V2 that didn't require removal.
