Exactly, resale is one consideration. Yes, Luke's bumper is quite stout, stronger than the factory cross-member. But until now the 100 has been so new that most have been unwilling to cut one up. Especially for the ones still under warranty and used as daily drivers. I can just imagine the liability and insurance issues that could result (e.g. get rear-ended, claim for damages and medical, get denied because you modified an essential safety feature of the vehicle).
Any insurance industry experts care to speak up?
