What are the pros and cons of removing front bumper support on 1995 mustang hoping to save some weight off front end and will the bumper still fit correctly

If you're worried about taking weight off, do it somewhere else. What have you done weight reduction wise to the car? Any aftermarket mods?

Bumper will fit fine just if someone hits you in the front it will be expensive. There other way to get weight of the car.

I can't imagine why you would remove it on a street car, I know that when I supercharged my old mustang I had to remove it for the intercooler but that's about the only reason.
