bumper supports together are around 42lbs. theyre only good for 5mph accidents anyway. id leave the doorbars in until u get a rollbar/cage in there. the noses of 98-02 trans ams will not flex in unless youre traveling at 150+ mph. camaros might be a lil different tho. the answer to the rear bumper "parachute problem" is to screw a piece of sheetmetal to your heatshield and bolt it to your bumper cover. stiffened it right up. and if youre reallly worried about drag, cut a hole out behind the license plate and use some kind of fastening device to allow your license plate to flap open u go over 100mph
