So, I swung by Wsex's house after work today and picked up the foam portion to his old bumper support. I think he was under the impression that the NCAA pool was still in swing, and that he could win some favor somehow, because he gave it to me gratis. Of course, I wasn't about to correct him and high-tailed it out of there!
I already resolved that the MWC front bumper support wasn't worth it for me on this car, but to satisfy my curiosity, I went ahead and weighed the stock stuff.
If the interwebs are correct, then the MWC front bumper support weighs approximately 4-5 lbs.
I weighed the stock foam and it was 5-6lbs.
The metal portion (with the T/A fogs still on) measured 16lbs.
So, from the factory there are 21-22lbs up there. With 5-6lbs of foam that can be removed for free, if the risk is worth it to you. Personally, I just through the new, non-cracked foam on, cleaned up & sanded the rust off the metal support bar, and gave it a quick spray.
I don't care if no one will see it, I will feel better knowing there is a hair less rust, and a touch more purrrdy, underneath there
I just noticed the two orange spots in the last picture. Those are reflections of the useless HF picks that are laying on the ground.
