rear bumper

I have the front bumper support removed and am thinking on the rear one will it cause the car to twist more without a cage taking it off? If so I will leave it on dont wont the car twisting up to bad!

If i remember right, i'm pretty sure that the rear one was completely made of fiberglass and plastic "padding" - i don't think that that will have any effect at all in chassis twist during launch. I've had mine out for a few years and up until this year never had a cage, with no problems at all.

WhiteLTone, u are right. rear support is plastic and rubber and will have no effects on chassis twist if removed

Like said, no bearing on Chassis twist but if street driven, I would not remove those, and if you do not have a welded 6 pt min. I would leave door bars and air bags in too. Just want to protect your ride and yourself.
