I've looked all thru the forum, and I cant seam to get the answer I'm looking for..

So I have a urathane front bumper I'm puttin on...lucky me Angry

Some say to remove the honeycomb some say leave it on,, it would be easier if I took it off
but maybe for safety reasons I should leave it on, car being made of fiberglass do think its that
big of a deal..

so options???!!!

If you're going with the urethane, I would say keep the honeycomb...it will help hold the shape of the cover. Without it, there is no real support for the cover, and it will sag something terrible. If your were using a fiberglass cover, then you could get by without the honeycomb support, but you would be giving up some front end protection in the event of a boo-boo.
