Veilside D1-GT Question!

Ive recently been looking for a nice looking body kit, and ive found that the D1-GT really caught my eye in terms of style and ricer look.
But after reading the forum thread

"Veilside D1-GT Rear Bumper Crunch Bar'
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/veilside-d1-gt-rear-bumper-crunch-bar-removal-danger-157271/

Seeing im on liability insurance.... im thinking i might want to find a body kit that looks similar to the D1-GT and doesn't require me to modify the crunch bar or remove it so incase i got in a car crash i wouldnt be extremely fucked.

Anybody got any suggestions on similar looking body kits or ideas?

with liability insurance the only chance you're fucked is when you hit someone but how often you hit someone with your ***? if your rear crash 9 out of 10 would be someone hit you and that's good news cuz now they're fucked cuz you don't have the re-bar and most likly the car is not fixable so the insurance company from the other side will pay your car isn't it better?

i would be cautious...insurance companies are good at squirming out of paying out period. if you removed an impact bar thats sole purpose is to aid in the car absorbing an impact...im sure they could find a way to not pay you.
