Correct, those posts are a discussion with members arguing both possible uses of the beam. S&R's post is taken with a grain of salt as they're the seller of the part (don't take that the wrong way S&R. I'm still buying one once you tell me it fits.). I was looking for actual confirmation of the bar's use as a structural componant rather than as a 5 mph bumper beam. Hence the question of whether the JDM 370z's have the same beam, or a smaller one as they are held to a standard of a 3 mph bumper beam. If they use the same one, it's very likely the bar is structural. If they use a smaller one, it's likely it is only to protect the mechanical componants.
