I know whats sitting behind the wheel. A stupid dumbshit.

I agree with Anthony, I'm glad natural selection exists. Why would you even think of removing part of the frame? Ok, so you don't care about the car, why even own it then? Its more of SAVING YOUR LIFE. But then again, with the way you're thinking, it might be better to get it out of the way sooner. I just feel bad for the person you hit and screw up their life.

It's not part of the frame dipshit. It's a brace for the bumper so it doesn't crack. It doesn't do anything structural.

Removing the bumper support won't kill you, dumbass. It'll damage the floorboard and other panels that'll cost much more to fix.

Uh...I wouldn't resort to name calling just yet. It doesn't brace the bumper to prevent it from cracking. The bumper cover is looks only. The Brace helps so that upon impact, the brace takes the first blast...helping to stop damage on the frame itself. So therefore, it is a structural piece.

Well I meant something that provides strength and integrity. But yeah you have a point even though it sounds like more of a structural cushion than part of the structure.

Ever thought about stripping the car to the bare chassis and removing some of those pieces? Probably can save a bit of weight...and you probably dont NEED all of those pieces.
