The bar is ideal in placement in the front bumper to cover a front end collision and mirrors the curvature of the OEM bar and foam. In addition, the guy who made this for me has the same tubing and format on his SRT-4 (so he could fit a big front mount intercooler) which he actually wrecked two months ago. It did what it was supposed to and transferred the shock impact to the frame rails, albeit probably not quite as perfectly as the OEM bar may have. I am comfortable with the structure given that the flanges are plate steel and the bar is thick wall steel that it will do its job well in transferring shock loads to the frame rails where crumple zones function from.
