Default Firebird owners, front bumper delete

So are Firebird owners deleting the front crash bumper? The bumper seems to feel heavier than a Camaros, wondering if the Firebird one is more prone to sag?

seen plenty of guys do it, wouldn't recommend it if you dd the car because a front end collosion and an insurance company sees you removed the bumper support, wouldn't turn out well I imagine

I deleted the bumper supports on mine, but it isn't my daily driver. For the sheer risk factor, I wouldn't do it on a DD.

Then again that's up to you. It's an easy 20 lbs. off the nose.

After seeing some pics of cars passing through the traps with deleted bumpers, mine is staying on untill I get that aftermarket support.

Any idea where these pics can be viewed? I'd be interested in taking a look.

Without the crash bumper, would there be a gap in the front of the Bumper? I didn't notice till Camaro_Corey said "Oh look at that gap" I guess the crash bumper held it up so it didn't look like an aftermarket shitty bumper?

Anybody confirm this for me at all?
