The Rear Bumper Reinforcment piece on the rear to add an aftermarket bumper? The Shop I had it at took it off and then they closed and now I dont have it and need to know if I need t he piece to put the bumper on. Thanks!

you dont need it no.. depending on the rear bumper alot of them just remove them.. but that causes a sag under the trunk most the time so they use L brackets to support the bumper.. on mine when i did the import fighter rear i just cut mine to fit.. and it looks great with no sagging and i have the crushguard in there

Before i cut the crushguard and installed it


Crushguard on teh car cut to fit


IF rear


the crushguard i cut is stryofoam.. on 95-99 Z24 the crushguard is styrofoam.. most the otheres are made out of plastic but still able to cut..

And here is my buddy bens car.. i cut his 00 rear crushguard to fit with his Type J rear.. and it has no waves or sagging on it.. looks great.. only thing we had to do which is what u see ben doing is drill out the holes bigger.. and we put some push rivets in to hold it in instead of re-riveting it back in.


No sagging or waves


O and if ur wondering what i use to cut this is my tool of choice its just a lil electric chain saw.. doesnt make the cleanest cuts but it works great and cuts easily and quick..


works great and quick. a sawzall or hacksaw will work as well but that was the only thing i had to cut..

Thanks a ton for the info buddie! That is well good to know and all the pics help. Mght take the task on myself now! Seems simple enough with enough time and effort!
