Would there be a positive effect if the front bumper weight was removed? I understand it's to keep the front nose down I guess, but is it really needed?

not familiar with any bumper weight but if your referencing the bumper reinforcement, i highly suggest you dont remove it. it is there for a reason to protect you in the event of accident.(obviously) removing it would be plain stupid and i doubt you would notice any performance gains. if there is a bumper weight i'm curious to see what other have to say.

Ah ok. I was talking about that metal block thing you remove when you install a front lip onto the car. I thought that since the front lip would be roughly the same weight as it, the block wouldn't be needed. But if it's an actual bumper reinforcement of some sort, then I would understand.

Stage 1 JDM weight reduction yo!!
All kidding aside, I have removed both of my bumper weights and have had no negative effect. It may increase the engine vibration you feel in the cabin of your car though. I think that's the only real negative effect.

Eh, I guess I'll just keep them on to save any trouble, lol. Unless they could effectively take off 1,000 pounds, they're staying.

On the first page it shows it. Doesn't look that big, so I guess it must not weigh much.

That one is the really small one on the actual bumper cover. It only weighs a few pounds. I thought you may have been talking about the bumper weight inside your actual bumper (not the bumper cover). That one weighs a lot more. All in all, it's not going to be a huge difference in weight.
