Well you could do that but what you have to take into consideration is the fact that the bumpers contain impact absorbers so if you get rear ended or have a collision of any sort
kiss your car good bye coz when you get rear ended without the impact absorbers that can really screw up the frame and not to mention the body would possibly have to go to chop shop for some major repair work and that can led into thousands of dollars and I know first hand about being in some collison's .

trust me on this one you want to keep the impact absorbers or
other wise you 'll end up being forced to buy another car.
and think about how bad your engine could be badly damaged beyond repair!........think about thge future.

dude if you plan on driving your car on the street at any time...i wouldnt advise it...

i had to do it because with my custom front and rear end you could see the full bumber assembly through the mesh screening so i took them out...

my iroc is purely a show car and only gets driving to and from a show and an occasional cruise thats it...

its not that hard to do but make sure its what you want to do and that you know all the risks involved!!!

with no impact absorber is a result in a total loss

i read some where that a guy removed his front bumper but at high speeds during one of his runs the nose peice sunk in due to lack of support but i think he runs low 10s high 9s i don't know if it's true so don't qote me on it

I've seen some cars with out the impact absorber and yes it is true that in some cases the nose will warp in extreme heat and with road wear can make your car look real "UGLY" but if you got a custom made nose that is made from stronger material it's gonna hold up better but against a slight impact noway jose!
