    Default bumper question?

    ok im building my integra and i found a buddy club front bumper for it for 20 bucks! its a real buddy club bumper and doesnt weigh anything now i was wondering would i find any gains from it compared to getting a stock one? not worried on how it would look just wondering if it would be worth it! basically function over form! any help appreciated

    I doubt this $20 bumper has enough R&D in it to make a noticeable difference.

    Hell, try it out, see what happens?

    Now that I think about it... I really doubt that it will be lighter than a stock bumper but its only $20 and you don't have a front bumper anyways, do you?

    Bumper covers weight close to nothing, whether its stock or "buddy club". just remove the front crash beam (if the car is going to be a "track car"), problem solved...
