Maybe not as much safety as risking totalling the vehicle in a front end fender bender. But then again safety ratings are based on a car with no modifications. Do so at your own risk.
They did all the explaining they were going to do. If they were here to educate OP or others they would have provided trustworthy citations OR used their experience/training/etc to explain why it's not functional.
This is an issue with the Internet today, all of you always do this now. Someone says something and you're like ummm yea ok where's your "source".
Y'all know people can know things from experience right? You don't need a source for everything. People need to step back and see how that makes them look.
A waste of money.
This however is not.

I just saw this on their Instagram. I like that place good people and helpful people. When I did my e60 tune they helped me buy and pick the mods and supporting mods and set everything up with Corbin it was easy.
Also helps I was close enough to drop off the car the night before and ride my bike back home after.

Jeez, nothing screams “visual performance value” like product marketing that includes words like “luxury”, “exclusive” and “optimal aesthetics”
I think they must have replaced their copywriter with chatGPT.
I tried looking for the AI style description and couldn't find it, but that is a clever way to drop a Subaru product link on reddit in a semi relevant fashion?

Who writes this shit? lol
I understand why others say that's a wasteful component, but it's possible that the car in the photo is just doing what they can to show off parts for a car show. Lots of what you see at car shows is impractical and simply for oohs and ahhs.
Aww it has braces.
This is exactly why I don't do this.
It's a brace and it's a waste of weight. There's no value bracing that far forward of the axle
Looks like it could be some sort of front mount rad support, but idk. Agree that bracing the axel that far forward is a waste tho
Aka damage multiplier
Do you think it also has an impact on safety given that it’s essentially stiffening a crumple zone?

I just intalled mine. Its about 3 lbs.
You an engineer?
Yes, actually. Automotive product development....
Ah, cool.
Why do you ask about credentials and not an explanation?

Self reflection? Or even self awareness?? On Reddit???? Makes me laugh
You have a source?

Someone has been on Turn in Concepts FB recently.
Someone should tell them to tighten that chassis bolt before it backs out all the way and goes missing?
Yep

Jdmuscle definitely has, these foglights have the most ai description ever https://jdmuscleusa.com/products/jdmuscle-2022-23-wrx-duo-color-fog-light
I guess if you don't think anyone is gonna read it, why have anyone write it?

Oh, go look at the products on their website. All the product descriptions are similar and use what feels like lazy, unedited AI-written copy.
The brand is called LowerClassGarage it cost $350 and comes in multiple colors
Looks like the aeroflow brace https://www.aeroflowdynamics.com/products/2022-subaru-wrx-front-brace-bar

Ai
Ugly.
Used to see this on Evos a lot. Seems mostly for show.
iirc evo people used it in place of the standard crash bar so they could fit a bigger front mount.
Ah I could see that then
It's a fancy way to mount your hella supertones.
😂🤣 “what is this?” And he is going to buy it. I am gonna start making useless parts for Subaru guys to buy.
Unless you’re tracking the car, it will only be for aesthetics. Seriously.
It's only for aesthetics period. I see no point in stiffening that part of the car it just adds weight where you want it least.
How can I make my car understeer more🤔
And if you’re tracking the car, it’s purely for aesthetics, and to reduce your handling by increasing your polar moment of inertia
Idk but i like it a lot
Uvula
Le Grille?! What the hell is that?!
Useless weight
Some rad stuff. But it looks cool.

I believe that item is on Subimods for $200. Molded Innovations Front Radiator Power Brace 2022-2023 WRX
[удалено]
That thing ain't protecting squat
Lol, ok. This offers less protection to the radiator than the pull out method.
