thanks guys i was out of town so I haven't been able to check the thread. I spoke with kevin today and I'm ready to punch the order through. Only thing I was thinking of was that the bumper support usually protects the frame from getting warped in a crash. Will the mwc support not protect the frame? I have no issues if the bumpers get ******* in a small fender bender but if it totalled the car at 15 mph because some idiot stopped short or couldnt stop and it warped the frame I might be a little pissed lol

These do not protect in a crash. Even the stock support is worthless above 15mph is it? I cant remember. If your worried about that then that's something you should think about.

No aftermarket support is designed to do the same job as the factory bumper bar in the event of a front end collision. These parts are designed as performance enhancing devices.

The MWC supports actually contact the fascia to do the job of preventing sag. Effective, light weight, priced right! We have several models in stock for quick shipping as well.

If you want something a little beefier. Check out the one from Burkhart Chassis. This LT1 one weighs exactly 15lbs, and the stock one weighs exactly 25lbs. It's made out of chrome moly.

MWC support comes in at a mere 5 pounds for maximum weight savings, and is available for use with or without intercoolers. Fog light mounts are no problem as well.

Thanks. It is designed to be NHRA legal as a fuel cell enclosure along with other items. It is NOT designed as a traffic safety device.

Trans cooler could be mounted with no problems as well, there should be plenty of room. we can do anything from Fuel cells, to intercoolers, to trans coolers, etc.
