It is not so much that the kit will crack but the force when you hit a cone will pull down and back on the bumper cover and will rip the holes out. I know at Drift Expo I saw Dan destroy the front lip and bust the cover after hitting a cone and one car completly ripped off the bumper cover when he hit a cone.. Basically think of a rubber cone as a hand, when you hit it with speed it 'grabs' the cover and pulls becuase the asphalt provides the friction to 'keep it in place' so to speak.
