The What Is This Thing? Thread
What is this thing in their rear bumper?? Doesn't look like a tow hitch.

I'm going to take a stab ... looks like a brace for when you take off at a red light and the front end lifts a bit, this is to prevent car from flipping over ... obviously, it's just for show.

^That's a good assessment, but there's no way that thing has enough torque to lift..... ever. Unless he drops in that ferrari v8, but even then.....

I think they're supposed to be a jacking point for drift cars, so you can raise the one end easier to swap tires. They look terrible though. Just get a better jack and lift at the subframe.

They make them for the front too. I remembered last night it's called a bash bar. Not a great idea on a street car if you get rear-ended.

I seem to think I see these on drift cars, both at the front and the back. So I have always assumed they were there to mitigate the damage in case they accidentally tapped a wall or something -- which supposedly happens every now and then.
