2nd wreck was last monday. Guy rearended me going about 35/40. 8k worth of damage, sore neck the next day but thats it.

No damage to the brace bar either times.

That aluminum bar is just a shell that goes around an inner thick bar if I am not mistaken. Never any bending at all.

If I could even find a better bar to replace it I would. But both the Amuse and Robispec bars were almost impossible to find, and close to 1k if I recall correctly. Seems a bit crazy to me. And I feel safer with the stock bar than those thin "harness bars" that attach with L brackets

Wrong! The aluminum bar you see is it. There is no inner bar. Additionally, unlike the Robispec bar which bolts directly to the chassis, the OE bar is held in place by flimsy sheet metal brackets.

And the reason harness bars regardless of design cost so much; legal LIABILITY. All it takes is one lawsuit, regardless of how baseless it is, to destroy a company.
