I just got my ViS Racing Invader kit.. I need to know how to modify the bumper brace (the aluminum bar) so that I can leave it on and put the bumper on too.. I have been riding around without it..and the handling isn't as good anymore.

In regards to the reinforcement bar (rebar, if you will), I just wanted to share my (not so good) experience.
One day, I was at a stop light on my way to return a movie. There were three cars in front of me. The first one made a right when it was clear. The second car in line was about to make a right, BUT DIDN'T because they thought they saw another car coming... so she broke hard... the van in front of me broke hard... but I didn't... cuz I was busy looking to the left to see if there were any incoming cars. I BUMPED... not crashed... but BUMPED... the van at about 3 MPH... yes... I said 3 MPH... and guess what happened? CRUNCH! That's right folks... that's how fragile the kit is... now imagine if I hit the guy at 20+ MPH... scary stuff... The reason why I'm telling you guys this is because I want you all to be EXTRA careful once you have the kit on.... I didn't have the rebar on... and my bumper crumbled and my high beams shattered. I was just thankful that I didn't own the AUTHENTIC Veilside kit at the time... which is part of the reason why I always recommend the knockoffs... unless you're some RICH rat bastard...  Thanks for taking the time to read my story... and please know that this all really happened to me... and I'm just glad that I have a good brother who spotted me 6 bills to get the front fixed... -Ray |
