Hey JP... I noticed the metal you cut off where the rear bumper went. maybe we can all learn from your madness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Did you do it for weight savings, engine clearance, or what? I am thinking of doing the same only keep the bumper on since I drive it on the street. Just take off the metal that does nothing. How about that tow mount. Looks worthless as well. |

I didn't find much structural difference when removing the entire trunk floor. The transmission support crossmember was STILL strong enough to support a 200+ lb. person jumping on it.

But what will cutting all this out do to my lights and all? I am guessing if I drive in the rain water will get up there? Plus there is the added heat thing. What should I do to deal with that issue? |
