Appreciate you doing that man

interior still has to stay stock looking so quater pannels, head liner, dash, and door skins have to stay...

1" metal hole saw to the naked metal behind the door skins, and just about anywhere else there will be any kind of skin covering metal.

Matt
you don't really need the rear one as the rear bumper doesn't get pushed in when running down the track.

I ran my 2005 car with no front and no rear for 2 years street and track.
The fronyt bumper starting sagging but the rear was great with no support.

Hopefully that will make this alittle easier to order.

It's for the street that I really want one on there... The car still gets cruised on a weekly bassis I think the most talked about thing when I drive around town is my Rims / tires

Rear is almost done. Once we took the rear bumper out of our "test" subject. We noticed the bumper is very sturdy on the top. the only part where you get alot of movement is down by the tag area. so this is what we came up with.

Let me know what you think. I have not put it on a scale yet.

Its made from 3/4 inch Chromoly


Rear Bumper
