Does anyone know the weight difference between the stock radiator support and the Steeda radiator support??

Also, is there a cheaper alternative to the Ford tubular bumper support?? Anyone use the bumper support?? Again what is the weight difference? Is there any fitment issues like the bumper cover being loose??

Many of the aftermarket front bumper supports don't have provisions to attach the plastic undertray securely. Some recommend zip ties and some just say to leave it off. I'm of the opinion that this is a helpful aerodynamic aid at higher speeds. I'm not sure if losing this piece or attaching it via zip ties is worth 10 lbs. I would rather go for the K-member, lighter wheels, etc.

I have the Steeda rad support. My first Steeda product ever. I was very impressed with how well it fit. Just like stock.

Same here :beer: And here's a photo of the difference:
