aluminum bumper

[8.8mustang]

ive heard of aluminum rear bumper reinforcements in fox mustangs ive had 10 fox mustangs and never had one what year did these come in and what is the weight difference

 

[stykthyn]

the first foxes that came out in late 78-79 and I think some of the early 1980 models had them

I made mine

Yep, it was the early models.... I would imagine the weight difference is quite a few pounds. I thought about changing mine but I figured that the added weight from the steel bumper is more benficial than harmful.

my 79 had stamped alum. bumpers with steel mounts so I holesawed the bumpers and made some alum. mounts for it

I took the aluminum bumper off the '79 that i got my nose off of. There is a pretty significant weight difference...they used them in front and back btw but it didn't have one on the back.
