If you look under your car you will see they aint for the Air Bags. Seriously why would an Air Bag system need 7lb rollers under you bumper that are in like no mans land just doing nothing.

I was just looking online and a few other cars have aluminum replacements for the crash bars that are lighter but maintain the bars and supports in the front. might be a possibility for someone to fabricate something like this. could be interesting way to lose a few lbs and still be safe

Too much work for me, I am lazy. Good idea if you are planning to race your car.

on a drag car mabey.... less weight is good for cornering. even in the front on a FWD car. allows you to "dive" into corners alot better.

We discussed this earlier in the thread.

Should've bought the battery and then removed the grill.
