Ok, I spent part of the evening taking the front bumper apart and drilling it. After taking off the weather-strip the top cover comes off. Then drilling the two rivets between each of the 2 groups of 3 studs (for mounting on the bumper shocks) will allow you to pry off the back cover - see pics. The back cover is about 7 lbs by itself. I intend to re-stall the front bumper without the back cover. I then started drilling out the remaining bumper from the back and prying out the matrial - a foam filled plastic structure. I got quite a bit done, but am still curious as to where the main weight of the bumper sits. Currently, the bumper is down to 29 lbs (from 42 lbs) in the form I intend to remount it in. I plan to fire up the angle grinder and make the cut straight and then re-drill deeper to get more weight off. Though, I have to be careful not to drill through...
