The STM bar is too expensive and heavy at 6 lbs. Yes I said too heavy, I don't care if it's crazy. I'm holding 6 lbs right now and I don't want that on the nose of my car, not after I already ditched the A/C.

I got really bad bumper sag, and the OEM replacement clips and pieces are not helping. My ziptie spiderweb didn't work either.

So, any other fabrication ideas or examples?

• Aluminum front bumper support beam?
• Foam blocks on top of the intercooler? Could that damage the intercooler or it's mounting points?
• Upsidedown L shaped brackets on both sides to provide some support?
• Twin-latch bumper quick release? I figure two latches may help keep things straight.

 

Potentially to chop up the OEM and leave just the part that bolts up to the frame on both sides.

Well it's ghetto as **** but here's what I got. Improved the bumper gap quite a bit. Just L shaped brackets from Home Depot, holes drilled by eye. Glued some rubber squares up top.

I'll probably get the STM beam later, but for now this will do.
