Technically it is a ticketed offense. A bumper is considered a safety feature.


Also, you may be surprised that if you haven't notified them of its removal, your insurance doesn't need to honor your claim if you hit something without the bumper on your car for the same reason. Think of it as if you removed your airbags or seat belts etc etc.....There is some grey area if the bumper support has not been removed however.


Now that being said, I ran my car without one for a month or two while doing Turbo upgrades and work etc without any problems.
