# Has anyone here ever removed their bumper cover and supports? Front or rear? -->

Posted by Aaron (92 SE Auto) on September 30, 2003 at 15:17:47: I've been thinking alot about this JUST for a single day track visit in Cali. But, I will only do it if I can find a way to harness the bumper cover back on without the support being there. Sleeper mod for the track. I talked to Bryan H last night and he said he cut his stock support all up so he lost a LOT of weight but kept the brackets that held the bumper on. Has anyone ever removed the support before? Any idea how much they weigh a piece? 15lbs, 30lbs, 45lbs? Also, did the supports just easily unbolt and that was it? Or did you have to do more work than you original thought? Thank you so much for any help. I KNOW I shouldn't drive my car on the road without these supports. But it's just for a track visit. If I do everything I'm planning on doing, 14.3s are possible in NC NA. But since I'm not in NC, 14.6s are possible in Fontana, Cali. :wall: Replys: Really? ....
