Weighed both bumper supports. They came from a 00 Camaro. Weighed them on an accurate work scale.
Front: 19.0 lb
Rear: 19.5 lb

That page shows pictures of the removal for both.
Enjoy.

Re: Weighed both bumper supports. I weighed the front one at 19 lbs on a post scale. So the rear one is more massive? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I wish I didn't have traction problems. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Weighed both bumper supports. The rear one is about the same size, but the absorbtion part material is different. The front is styrophone where as the rear is pretty much all heavy plastic.
Re: Weighed both bumper supports. offically shaved 200+ lbs off the camaro. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> thanks for the help with the front bumper magnus. that think was a royal pain.

Re: Weighed both bumper supports. I drive everywhere without a front swaybar <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Weighed both bumper supports. Is there ant flex in the nose or rear cover without the support? I know on my mustang, without the rear bumper, it will flex from the air moving around the car while I'm driving. Looks funny... Just curious if the camaro will have the same problem.......
