Cutting out front bumper opening
Would my insurance company have a problem if I cut out the center horizontal part of the front bumper?
The design would look much cleaner with just one large opening.

Maybe it would look better with some type of grille treatment (?)

Re: Re: Cutting out front bumper opening
I want to do the same thing also, but don't know where to start.
Can someone post some instructions on hoe to do this procedure?
Thanks
p.s. a grill insert would definetly look real nice there!

And I have no idea what rims those are.

Paint the middle black, or just get black vinyl and cover it, same result with out irreversable effect. Vinyl is only like $10 at most to cover that area, email shadow. At least do this to see how it would look in person.

Well since no one is reply to my other post im going to ask here
I took my new front bumper to the autobody guy and asked him to cut it out for me. He said its a bad idea because that middle thing between the valences is where the foam support rests. If he were to cut that out it wouldnt have the foam, and the bumper would be wably or somthing. Can anyone comment on this? I was all gungho to do this but now im not too sure. Its sitting at the body shop now.

Hey,
Yeah he cut out the fog holes.
The foam fits into an area in that middle bar place so with it cut into one large opening there is no place to put the foam...

It's what you hammer into a floor so that the tile grout/"cement mix stuff" to adhere to. It's plenty big!
hope this helps!
