how would the front end sag when removing the bumper support it will look the same after removal but i would recommed to never let some1 sit on the front bumper....if you want just remove the clamshell but leave the brace or like i have done before for peeps just cut several chunks out of the brace and leave the middle part of the brace alone so it still does something rather than nothing as a crash support

Yes it will sag a bit with nothing under there. It will flatten a bit at high speeds too. Burkhart makes one, but it's only for a Firebird or a Trans/Am. I'm not sure how much modification would be required to make it fit the f-bod front end.

Here's one that me and my buddies made for my car. We made some extras to sell and we have sold two already.
It weighs around 9lbs and is made out of chrome moly. Here is the link.https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...r-support.html

I used three small strips of aluminum between the airdam and where the bumper cover snaps in.
Nose looks just fine. I just don't see any reason for a full tubular streel/CM frame under there.
At the very most, an aluminum hoop with an angled support under it.
Having said that, I've seen vids of card with no support whatsoever that do sag under acceleration.
