Hey guys,

after doing research on completely shaving the rear bumper bracket, i figured that it wouldnt affect anything unless an after market fiberglass bumper would be installed... is this correct???

how many have done a complete rear bumper bracket shave without any issue occuring after???? i wanna completely shave the entire bracket or maybe move the bolt a half and inch or so further... im wondering if the rear bumper would become flumsy, become loose, wobble etc. if the bolt is completely removed...

ive seen bumpers on hondas wobble specially when in the freeway and open road driving... ... want it to appear and seem as if nothing was ever modded unless you looked underneath... haha

 

I did it and have no issues, but then again I drilled a little hole on the lip of the rear bumper where it meets the fender and passed a tie-strap through it just in case. Had done it on my ISx50 for the fronts and worked well also. GL

 

i thought you did a small shave and that fixed the issue,
are you thinking about doing a complete shave just for the heck of it? or is it still rubbing?

 

Mines are completely shaved off too. I used 3m double side tape to keep the bumper in place and not a single issue.

Yes, if you plan on getting a aftermarket fiberglass bumper you will have some problems from keeping it up. What I can suggest is remove the bolt, use a rubber mallet and bend it instead of cutting it off completely that way it's still there if you ever need it.

 

ok... sounds like another good method in dealing with the rubbing...

i did do a small trimming and it actually works... well, it works really well when im alone or with a front passenger... so not a biggie... however, the real test came when i drove with three passengers... two on the rear were a little on the heavy side too... rubbed slightly when turning up on a driveway/lot...

not a big issue since im usually with at most a single passenger... but once in a full moon, i do carry two, maybe three passengers and want to eliminate any possibility... thats all...

so i guess you can say that its kinda for the heck of it... maybe...

awesome... sounds like a great method instead of cutting the entire bracket completely... had a different method and will gonna see which looks best... gonna have it up today again and gonna see if i go this route though... bending it instead... thanks

 

Mine is pretty close to being completely off. It was needed for my wheels tire set up to fit. I have no probs.

 

oh, ok... just wondering, so does the piece that remains have no function??? or are you still using the remaining to hold the bumper..??

 

Shaved and good to go! No rubs even w my +25 and 275z and I'm pretty low. Shave it and look good lol.

 

lol... ok... that pretty much convinced me... ahaha

gonna shave most and then use a rivet...

 

I did it and have no issues

 

ok... great... its good to hear that this is an option which doesnt affect anything...

btw... i cant see the pics you posted... is it just my comp??? i also clicked on it and it takes me to some website... can you repost??? would really like to see your pics...
