I'm in cause my car is a tank to start with. Keep us updated with what you come up with

 

[Wicked97]

do you want to be able to attach the stock foam to it, or would you rather have the bar hold up the bumper?

 

[Tre06GTP1SC]

me personally wouldn't mind just the bar holding it up, but Im amenable to whatever you guys come up with

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing it. You still planning around $125?

the chromoly one i know can be $125 the aluminum one i will have to check price on the tubing and get a price together.

before i start anything i will get a price estimate and weigh the materials to see if the added weight reduction will be worth the added cost.

Nice! All from some quick posts we get a great company making some new shit to reduce weight on are tanks

I would like to see the foam stay myself .

I could care less as the foam is about a pound total

You don't need the foam or the bumper to hold the cover in place. It hangs there just fine once all the fasteners are in. A friend has had his that way for year looks to have held up fine. I am making my own replacement for the bumper to save weight and have a place to hang the splitter from. I figure I'll probably cut a couple slices out of the foam for a bit of added support.

I dont see why anyone wants the foam to stay. It is only like a 5mph crash bumper IIRC, so anything over a nudge and your shit is all banged up anyway even with the foam.

 

[Germeezy3]

I am thinking oxygenated fuels have to save a ton of weight.

 

[06gtmustang]

Well im in for getting a front lightweight bar. No foam and pretty sure the chromoly will be light enough if not the aluminum it is it dont matter.

I am would like one as well foam or no foam! I would like to see the price differance between the steel and the aluminum though! Please pm me when you get it all sorted out! Thanks!

thats how our race cars are set up, if you look at the pics i posted on the previous page. I understand these guys want some added support. It would also save some space aswell for intercoolers.

i am trying to get the pieces in place for this now. it will most likely be cheaper if i make the bar hold up nose of the bumper and do away with the foam.
