what i am wanting to do is take a little weight off the front, I was reading last night in the forced induction session and seen some pic of a car that had the upper fender supports Swiss cheesed for more weight reduction. Already have the impacted bumper removed and a battery relocation done to the car.

what i'm not sure about is if I do this' is this going to make my car weak , At this time I don't have a cage and don't know if I will ever put one in it.

like to hear some comments , all advice appreciated

thank in advance

Have you thought about a Tubular K member? Aftermarket control arms? I would try all aftermarket parts and possibilities before cutting holes in the car.

Yeah I would go aftermarket parts before cutting or removing any parts that keep my car safe.

Agreed with the above. Dont cut crap up!

GM built the car to be safe and cheap. Cheap meaning least amount of material possible. I wouldn't swiss cheese a street driven car unless you have a cage in it. You are going to want whatever structural integrity the car has if you run into something. Have you removed the A/C, emissions, power steering, etc?

Any more details on car, power? Planned power? I know reducing weight increases speed, but I prefer building more power and leave thecar alone. Mines full weight full interior all lluxuries still there. And I put in a 6pt roll bar. I overcome the weight with nitrous.

I'm a good driver, but if some fuqbag decides to doushbag me at an intersection, I want all I can get in between us

Mwc makes front tubular bumper supports that eliminate like 30 lbs. between that and deleting the ac that'll be about 55-60 lbs off the front.

I would try aftermarket k members and all that jazz first like some other guys said... but that being said its your car do what you want to...
