Default camaro front bumper support...

Anyone have a write up, I've been searching for a while but cant find a write up. I'm looking to drop some weight off this heavy car, but also dont want to end up with any sag(think its more of a ta issue but not 100 percent sure)

It's not that hard and I didn't use any kind of instructions. I found taking off the black plastic piece more trouble than the bumper support. If you can do any kind of mechanical work then it should be a breeze.

Pull the Bumper Cover off, take the black plastic Bumper Cover Support off, then there is the bolts on the sides..

I was trying to find that the other day. I went to their website and could only find the Trans Am one. Anyone have any pics or a link to the Camaro bumper support?

comes off easy. undo the bolts on the frame-horns and remove the plastic pop-in clips on the botton. break the **** outta the styrofoam and remove styrofoam in pieces and then remove the support brace. i have had no probs with my bumper cover sagging or anything at high speeds

no, the airbags are controlled by the sensor under the console. perfectly safe to pull the support
