Rear Reinforcement neccesary? Thoughts?!

[FiReBReTHa]

ok, im having a full body kit installed because i was rearended. and as well as a hit and run on the front, (bad two weeks)

and so they said that my rear reinforcement is busted. (which i expected from that impacted)

but i wanted to know.... Can i not install the reinforcement and dangerously drive without it for a while.

then disasemble rear, (which i hope is relatively easy?) and then bolt up the reinforcement?

Im sorry for asking a kinda noob question but i have yet to take a DSM body apart yet.

im just worried that its neccesary to install it before the kit gets installed. etc.

THANKS in advance!

Most rear bumper covers rest on the reenforcment so I don't know if it would fit right...
