    CF isn't really all that much lighter than OEM panels...not much weight savings until you start getting into the unibody itself anyways.

    Most likely won't be able to drill into the bumpers....will burn up hole saw bits like crazy. Best is with a plasma torch, say 3" holes or so all the way across the bumper, you can do the face, top and bottom. Only problem is you don't want to hit anything...bumper covers are good for 5mph and the bumpers themself are much higher but cutting holes in it puts it theoretically down to 1mph...you don't want to hit anything afterthat.
