I think it will sag.

I have not pulled my front out yet since I need to make a bracket to hold up the center of the nose.

Had the front support out of my Formula for about 8 months now.. no sag.. or anything else.

Mine didn't sag, but The techs at MTI whipped up some sweet little brackets to hold the front, and rear fascia's secure for making 1/4 blast.

Thanks again guys!

how do these homemade brackets work. you don't have to drill througn the bumper to bolt them in do you? out to start project weight reduction now!

I've had mine off of my T/A for a few months. No problems whatsoever. You will lose your fog lights though they do mount to it. Although with no fog lights it does make for an interesting ram-air setup. Havent gotten around to trying it yet.

do you have to have any brackets to remove the z28's bumpers?

BIGBOS

well I saw a webpage where someone rigged up two little tunnels from the foglight area right up to the airbox...it was on a camaro though, I think it can be done on the t/a, is there really any noticeable difference with it off?

I have had the front off of my Z-28 for about 2 years now,no brackets or anything and it does not sag at all. It does however collect rainwater, leaves etc.

BIGBOS

anyone have any links to any webpages on how to do it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I don't want to lose my fog lights, any way to keep them?

The Helms manual would probably be the best place to look. It was pretty straight forward on my Z though.

On a Z28, you can gut the bumper and still retain the fog lights.

When removing the bumper cover, the only difference between a camaro & firebird is the firebird has a small screw on each side under the headlights.

For a Formula.. no brackets are needed for the fog/driving lights... the facia supports them.
