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.

yea its steel....
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
