Yeah, no bumper for the street. What happens if you get rear ended? Lawyer would have fun with that.

Did I say remove the bumper? Don't think so. BSRs have light bumpers for the track so this vent is a no brainer.

You've got to route air around it if possible. Black out all components/bumper and mesh it up so it looks good....and this just food for thought not marching orders. I am just thinking about it myself...

Did a quick search for a BSR bumper but came up nada. You wouldn't happen to have a link or a photo to post up would you? You've made me curious.

From what I've seen of the stock bumper, it looks like an extrusion that could probably be windowed and reinforced to be as strong as stock. Then you could get your airflow.

We live in the non-litigious frozen north so not really afraid of being sued. Never mind the lawyers, I need a bumper to keep the rest of the no-fault insured drivers here in Quebec from trying to drive through the back of the car

But still don't want bumperettes
