How do F/G bumpers and hoods affect a crash? Options

[JmuRiz]

I was wondering how the car and I would be affected, by having F/G lids and bumpers, in a crash. I would love to have the weight savings of F/G for if I do track days etc but I don't know if it'd be worth it from a safety standpoint on the street. Since my car mostly a streetcar. Thanks for any advice. I know there are C/F lids too, those are a lot of $$ however and they might splinter in a crash anyway (not sure though).

Hmmm....the steel bumpers are able to direct the force of the impact to the more structually strong areas of the car, or at least thats what they're supposed to do. But that only works up to a point as well. The f/g would just disintegrate, leaving the less structually strong areas vulnerable.

A 10 mph bump with the stock bumpers probably wouldn't do that much damage.
A 10 mph bump with f/g bumpers would probably bend the hood and the front trunck area.

A 50mph hit would hurt either way.

Just try not to hit anything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I haven't hit anything though, so I'm sure there are people here with first hand experience that could chime in.
