Sorry, I had it back together Saturday. I went out and weighed the chunk I took out of it though (you can see the missing part in the photo) and it only weighed 3 pounds; If I were to guess, I'd say that the piece is about 15-20 lbs. (although it felt like a hundred when it crashed down on my big toe!). I was quite shocked at how flimsy it is because I was very hesitant to cut into a bumper. I actually feel MORE secure now that I have 100lbs of lead as a front bumper in addition to it!
