[QUOTE="Beercules, post: 16432549, member: 156123"] I know this is old but needed to add something. If you don't have a frame, car companies these days use crumple zones as the safety, not bumpers. Bumpers might help absorb energy up to 20 mph, but that speed isn't very life threatening. Insurance companies will still likely use that as an excuse to not pay out on a claim. My question is, do you need the bumper support to support the plastic body piece out front? What happens if you just run the car with the support missing? I know you'll get better airflow through the intercooler... Half of it is shrouded by the metal support... Right up against it. What would insurance companies think if you cut the bottom half off?
