You guys know that front beam support behind the bumper? Is there a way to take that off and keep the stock bumper? I know that 92+ civic's can do it(because I removed the one form my 4dr), but how come these EF's are so freakin' hard to play with?

 

You are going to lose a lot of chassis rigidity by removing it. But yes, you CAN remove it. Lots of people take it out for thier drag cars. For a street car, I wouldn't. Not even for a 92+.

 

If you take it off... how are you going to mount the 4 main bolt that;s mainly supporting...

 

You won't lose chasis rigidity. The Japanese EF's don't come with that support on the front or rear. If you get a SiR front end you can mount the bumper without that support. Otherwise you'll probably just have to get creative and use zip ties or something.

 

Just because the JDM EFs don't use it, doesn't mean you won't lose ridigity. I beg to differ.

 

Well then, how do the JDM EF's make up for that loss in rigidity? I have a front clip from a JDM SiR and it looks the same as my CRX, minus the support.
