ok so my cars finally down and im drivin the old truck. the motors comin out soon and weight reduction should start soon. but i have a question about the honey comb type pieces behind the bumpers. first off what are they? lol and are these ok to remove on a street car? they seem lik a nice chunk of weight that id lik to get off if its safe.

Remove em, the foam doesnt actually weight that much its the bar that its attached to that weights the most.

Prob just helps keep the shape of the bumper on a low low impacts. (i.e. backing into something)

u can remove them just don't hit any one else's car and don't get hit by anyone else's. without the supports there is no stiffness in the bumpers to prevent them from flattening out on small impacts.

burkhart chassis makes a bumper support that weighs only 9 pounds.

i've read answers from people who have taken them off and weighed them ranging from 18 to 25 lbs. in the weight reduction sticky in the drag racing tech section i believe it says 22.

Can anyone chime in on the way the front bumper performs without any support at trap speed? I.E., bumper deflection and/or being ripped off?

seems like there is a thread just like this one in here every few weeks. Here are a few I pulled up using Search in this forum only searching Weight Reduction in titles only.

Ours was fine till it got a small tear in it putting it on the trailer. Then it started collapsing and tearing more at the end of the 1/4 mile
