Default front tubular bumper supports...

dunno where exactly i should post this but im in need of a tubular front bumper support for the sole purpose of reinforcing my front muper so it doesnt sag or collapse under high speed winds... i want to remove my factory support to cut some weight but mainly make room for an intercooler.

I know a couple guys from the KC area made their own and they were really lightweight. Jerry goes by wlsmoku and has a purple 98 Z with a cowl hood.

here are his pics at the bottom of the first page

bought an burkhart front bumper support and it works and looks perfect! cleared A LOT of room in front to eventually fit a front mount and i think it looks a lot nicer now. prob just 5-10lbs lighter than the stock unit with styrofoam
