I guess removing the front bumper to shed weight doesn't override the aerodynamic advantage of it? or has anybody ever tried this?

Hehe they build em heavy on the Rams, I've also done the stock front sway bar, that was a good 60lb's off the front.
I saw that Sentra video, that was... a bit extreme, lol.
