Thinking about shaving/deleting my rear bumper warts.

Does anyone know if all you need to do is drill out and remove the mounting bracket on the crash bar to allow you enough room to shave the bumper. or will you need a Euro crash bar? I think it may look pretty clean with out them.

I painted mine body colour. I think it looks better than not having them because of the empty space - what do you think?



So, those are your choices - remove, paint or keep them.

I like that too. I'm curious how much it would be to r&r the bumper for that. I'm thinking not too much.

Start backing your car into the garage, so you can't see the rear end...and spend your money on a fuel system.

I like them stock, another thing that makes older cars desirable . Never really got into updating the look of a car and have passed on many older cars with updated lights etc. Totally understand others views this is just mine. I will ad mods and other bolts ons so I'm not a total purist for all the stone throwers.
