One important reason I "have" to leave mine intact for is we are building a very serious autocross car with a great deal of effort going into strenghtening the chassis, if we cut into the bumper we would have to add something back to replace it with.

For the average driver, even on a boosted car, most will never stess the chassis enough to notice a difference.

Wide super sticky race tires all around and a fully developed suspension is another story;)

It's sad that this thread about how happy Rob was to get his car back has turned into a discussion on chassis rigidity..

I agree but a good question was asked and a good answer was something members need to know.

Now back to the original discusion, that you guys took care of a car most shops would not of touched or if they did would end up with another hack job.

Again, Bravo! Taking care of him was a dang fine thing to do and is a great testement to what you guys are about

Well....so far the car runs great. Got some data logging done so kenny can adjust fuel for the S.Florida air. The car has the new light weight v2 pully...this pully makes a world of difference. The car accelerates hard with it on, and it makes no belt noise...a real testament to the guys that put my car back together...i went through and retorqed all the bolts on th kit.. and they didnt budge...nothing loose...ive put 1800 miles on it so far and do far sooo sooo good
