why is this getting bashed?

why not have two bumpers, one for track use and one for street use?

well i know that SRR made some quick release kits...no idea where to buy them now though.

and FWIW, it would have been nice to have some sort of quick release kit when loading the R onto the tow dolly for expo. even with stock suspension the clearance was VERY small and the lip was getting caught up on the ramps a bit.

I've got an MMR fiberglass one piece front end for EG Civic... Cost $1,500 brand new, you can have for a 1/3 of that.

It's a great idea if you're looking to lose your front end to thieves

It is a great convenience if you are loading/unloading the car on a trailer, however this is a street driven car. The OP made no mention of needing to transport the car. I'd be more concerned about theft since this is a car that is parked in public areas.

I've been thinking about doing this myself however I'll just stick with some lengths of wood to help decrease the attack angle onto my trailer.
