I have to say though that I am thoroughly impressed with the JCR front bumper. Yes it may have gotten bent up, but I hit a tree going about 15mph. Given that the only damage received was cosmetic, I believe the bumper did its job.

SHortly after I found a hole...

You should be glad they didn't overdo it on their bumpers. I know I guy that built his front bumper with plenty of gussets and made it so strong that when he got into an accident his frame bent instead of is bumper. You have to remember that even though we're putting on much tougher bumpers than stock, in an accident they should still be sacrificial and have some give.

I found a tree (actually a few) and I had to replace my door. I didnt like that tree after that.

I hit a tree with my old Roxolid bumber doing like 15mph and It did nothing.

and I have thought about the whole give thing before.

So true, Im quite pleased with this bumper like i said. Does its job quite well. Impact was hard enough that if it hadn't bent could have easily damaged the unibody.
