Default How many people

took off their front fenders and cut out the inner metal behind the fender?

If so how many years has it been and is your car a race car/ drag car

or street car?

DO YOU notice any cracking or spider webbing at all?

what about the front bumper support removed? any damage to bumper?

A car that you're driving around I wouldn't do it. I put about 40 3 inch hole's in mine (20 per side, took about 6 lbs out, probably 40% what it would be if you cut it all off) and never had an issue when I was racing the car.

Something that's going to see street use I wouldn't do it. The loss of strength, vs what you're saving, isn't worth it IMO.

Bumper support, to run with nothing at all I wouldn't do on a street car, or race car. Nose will sag, start to look like crap in no time. Burkhart sells a support that fits good and is pretty light... I'd at least run that.
