Reinforcement plates vs structural foam ?

[old///MFanatic]

CMP is a company selling a product. By all accounts, it is a good product - but I would definitely not treat such a source as definitive.

CMP is not merely a company selling a product. The CMP dude is a qualified engineer who designed the product after analysing the structure and forces at play when his own car suffered secondary failure

Curious who came out with this type of brace design first between VInceBar or CMP?

Wearing my asbestos undies here, I believe Vince was first to sell a rear (stealth/hidden) RACP mount topside bar solution - then CMP came out with their H-Bar solution...

Ok..I think you know where this is going.

No idea. Please enlighten us.

Here's a video illustrating the forces applied to the RACP (and a Vincebar fix). Whether it be a Vincebar, CMP bar, or the one I had made myself I'd rather be relying on a metal bar to keep my boot floor together than some foam:
