Japanese-spec Bumper: Legality?

i may be answering my own question, but, i was wondering, since the Japanese spec bumpers are shorter & have no rebars(?), will these cause a concern with insurance & legality, minus the obvious safety issues with Cdn vehicle registration & Certification/Safety requirements?

pics, just cause they look purty:


i like the Trueno frontend a bit more than the Levin


is there a way to mount it on the car, without voiding any safety regulations? i've seen a few coupes driving around, but i want to keep it under the law

Dood.. you're like a year behind on the AE92 crew.

No they're not legal in Canada.. that's why our ae92 have rebars and longer bumpers. Just don't tell your insurance company. Either way.. you rear end someone and your whole front is toast with rebar or not.. look at 1owner's and canadaGTS's AE92.. their cars had OEM bumpers and they still got toasted. Then compare them to Andrew's Zenki bumpered AE92.. same result. So rebar or not.. your front end is still toast in an accident.

Zenki's are pretty.. but I still want Kouki!

I think there's a reason why the car is called... "Tom's Levin"

get some 16" or 15" wheels for your car corolla_gtz, something in red would look good. white or black too.
