weight reduction mods without gutting interior
I'm still waiting to see someone that actually has the 6le ones.
I talked to Eric (subhumanz) about them you have to glue them in and I don't want to do that... if I'm going to glue the things in so they can't come out anymore I will just put a carbon hard top on the car and paint it to match the car, not what I'm after.

I could be wrong on this but I have been reading that I can just remove the rear plastic bumper then there is a crash pad I can remove suppose to be around 20 lbs or so.. the just re install the rear bumper.. I think the front bumper crash pad has supports that hold the oem fog lights in so I'm hesitant to mess with that as of now... is all this correct??

Midwest chassis sells the front and rear crash beam supports.. They weigh half as much as the OEM stuff
The front bumper should come off to have access to the front foam and crash beam. The front bumper can sag a little though since it has no support underneath the top lip of it now.
Mwc bumper bar will correct that while minimizing weight gain.

Everyone just missed the weekend bumper support sale.
What you may not see as sagging sitting still they do when moving and the rear bumper will become a big parachute if you do not tie in the lower portion as it collect air and wants to pull away at the bottom while the lower portion of the front bumper becomes a wind flap. This is why our front and rear bumper supports catch the lower portion of the bumpers as well as supporting it up top.

Unless you are doing a front mount intercooler, we do have a version that still supports the bumper but allows room to mount your intercooler up front.
