Styrofoam in Front Bumper??? Okay, i just removed my stock plastic camaro Grille, adn she's naked now, but i plan on buying the SLP SS Grille soon, My question is...Has anyone removed the styrofoam on the front bumper? If so, can I? I hate the way it looks in there,. But do i need it to keep the front end shape? Let me know guys? What have you all done?

Your insurance company might give you **** over it if you happen to wreck it. It weighs less than 3 pounds; just get some body color paint and spray bomb it.

mine is gone...and so is some of the actual steel bumper support....not gonna hirt anything to not have the foam in there, but there is nothing "nice" to look at behind there, unless you are getting a big ol' FMIC than i would just paint it black or something

i was considering leaving the styrofoam but just cutting it out where you can see it. that way the bumper would retain its shape, and it still would be out of view. seems like ud get better airflow into the engine compartment too...

i am thinking about trying to get some foam in there but not using the stock piece because i think its to big...
maybe using a like foam in a can type spray to fill it in as good as you can

i would just leave the foam and spraypaint it black, then maybe put some screen/mesh over the foam. only reason i see to remove the foam or bracing is for a FMIC or a front breather setup
I have done it and after doing it wouldnt suggest it to anybody else.My nose piece now sags a bit and I have these big spaces under my headlights because of it....really not worth doing for a 24lb weight decrease
