It's on the earlier models. Can't say for sure when they stopped using them. A plasma cutter would do well to lighten up the steel bumper but then you are giving up some strength in the event of a mis-hap. I saw where a guy water jetted the crap out of one until it was basically a skeleton.

Yeah umm, don't go doing this to your Stocker bumper! It would be ashamed to go to your first points meet and not pass tech or even worse, to win a points meet or Natl. Event and get tossed for doing this

We have been doing this all spring and summer and we did get our GT Turbo (which was an 86 SVO car so its an original heavy car 2975 pound car when we started) to 2520 pounds with driver with the factory seats still so u can make the weight it just takes a little time..
