Lol its not the crash beam, its a peice of form. Even then the crash beam only stops 5-10mph accidents. I don't think I've ever heard of someone with FMIC replacing the crash beam ever having issues.

My issue with this is drivability. I've done this to other cars and the wind blowing in messes with the MAF sensor. At idle you're fine but imagine at 50mph the MAF expects to see xxx amount of air, but then a huge wind blows against the car because its just a windy day. The MAF is expected to only see what it thinks it should at 50mph at whatever gear or RPM you're at. That wind blows in and it thinks the car is going faster than it really is and starts adjusting the A/F ratio. Again I've done this on other cars and it makes it super annoying to drive and it bogs, hesitates ect under light throttle and in closed loop map setting. Under WOT open loop it was fine.
