Re: import question
Yea.. not to mention that the tiny amount of weight saved was probably out weighed by the weight of all those extranious dials in the cockpit.Originally posted by Earnhardt132000

Re: import question
Just when I thought ricers could not get any dumber, what with useless gauges and angled fart cannons, along comes perforated bumpers.

Re: import question
definitely for less drag, not weight reduction... lets the air caught by the rear "bumper" be releasedComment

Re: import question
It actually makes sense. Its similar to people who own trucks opening the tailgate when doing highway driving, allows the air to flow more freely over the bed than with the gate up where it acts like a parachute.Originally posted by Fireball27 WOW, thats the dumbest thing ever! .. i don't even know where to begin....
Wisest thing to do in an Fbody....run the AC. With the windows down and/pr Ttops removed, the car acts more like a parachute, and take a little more gas to get the car up to speed and maintain it.1995 Pontiac Firebird

Re: import question
the function makes sense, but there are ways' of accomplishing the same thing without holes in your bumper.. like a under body splash guard that sits flush to your bumper..which would actually work better than perforating your bumper anyway.
