    probably quite a few that have wives that keep bringing home injured animals....

    no alum rear subframe available, the alum rear aztec subframe is sorta similar but in much the same way that my pecker is sorta similar to a 36" prybar

    thought I saw something on the rear a few years back. IDK maybe your right on the Aztec thing. I already got the front aluminum one and the front bumper support aluminum too.

    you CAN replace the rear bumper support beam with the alum aztek/redezvous front bumper

    you have to cut off and bolt on the steel brackets from the OEM rear bumper beam but you can drop weight that way

    Are you dropping enough weight to make it worth it?

    it doesn't drop a whole lot of weight but it does drop it in the most ideal area of the car
