US bumper delete

Was getting some paint around the rear number plate touched up. Shop said they would discount if I removed the tail lights and bumper myself. Bumper took 5 min to remove from the impact shocks (4 nuts), so I attached some steel mesh to the impact mounts just to see..h’mmm not too bad!! So of course then I just had to pull the front bumper (4 nuts and 5 min) for more mesh with a couple of turn signals from the towing aisle of Autozone. Before I had time to think ‘my god what the heck have I done’, it was done. I call it the ‘Gutter Mod’, and 10 points to anyone that can guess why ;-) Positives: back to stock in 20 minutes, car 100 lbs lighter, ‘Euro’ look (sort of!)
