MWC Bumper Supports users come in

Hey guys, just wondering who uses these and what their opinions are? I'm currently waiting on a price quote from Eric so I figured I'd ask. How much weight have you all seen, and did the bumper sag at all with the new supports? Price on the website says + freight. Was shipping a killer for you guys or not too bad?

Thanks Dan

I have MWC bumper support on my Camaro very quality piece. They fit great, and I don't have any bumper sag. One of the reasons I bought the support because the stock piece caused the bumper to sag and crease the bumper down by the turn signal. I'm not sure of the weight saving I never did a before or after weight. I don't remember but I think my supports got delivered by UPS so I don't remember shipping being that big of a cost.

The front bumper support is very nice and mine doesn't sag at all. It's great and a good amount lighter. I didn't install it so can't comment on that but seemed straight forward.

Mine doesnt sag at all. Probably sits nicer than factory. Definitely clears up the cluster up there. Weight saving is 10-15 lbs? Nothing crazy but its on the nose of the car so it makes the most difference.

They fit perfect and only weigh a couple of pounds apiece. I would not change one thing about them.

I'm pretty sure the 2 circled are the holes they're talking about. I left mine open also.

What does the grill have anything to do with installing these bumper supports? My grill is still on the car.

Edit~I see what he's talking about now LOL. I have the holes open but still have the stock grill.

I plugged the holes on the front bumper because it made the front of the car feel floaty at speed. All that air getting in the bumper creates a lot of turbulence.

The steering starts to feel light at highway speeds, you guys never felt that? as soon as I plugged the holes on the front, that feeling went away. It wasn't really bad or unsafe, it was just enough to annoy me.
