I was going to replace my bumpers with APC.. How much do you think it will save?
Quite a few pounds with both the bumpers replaced. You just don't have the protection anymore if someone runs into you with most of the aftermarket replacements.

A word of warning: The APC stuff is nice, but most owners that used their stuff complained that it took a lot of work to make the APC fit right. The shops had to work twice as much to get all the parts to line up correctly plus more time to prep the finish for painting than the other aftermarket bumpers and roll pans.
If you go APC you won't save a damn thing...the front bumper goes directly over the stock bumper as a cover so you'd be adding weight. You really won't see any significant gains on the rear since all you're doing is taking out a big peice of foam...but atleast the car will look good lol.
