anything wrong with pinning on bumper cover skins?

[!kid]

you should use Dzus fasteners it would look much better and just as easy to remove

Get rid of the bumper shocks while you're at it. They serve no purpose without the bumper cores and they weigh quite a bit. What does your car weigh? I had my 318is down to 2375 with a full interior and a full tank of gas. ;)

2350 with a bit more than half tank of gas

alot of slammed VW guys do this to take the bumper off easily and quickly for when they break and need to call a tow truck.

I'll bet you didn't, it's pretty damn hard to see that part of the car from the driver's seat. Or did they suddenly build a wind tunnel at NHMS and someone forgot to tell me?
