Similar to what guys racing the old Porsches discovered: impact damage was usually easier to repair when they'd removed the bumpers, as the damage tended to stay more localized instead of being spread throughout a larger area of the chassis.

Well, you already have it. If you've been keeping a good gas log perhaps it will reveal a difference... and perhaps not.
