Awesome...now that begs a serious question...
The cut is tampering with a significant front impact safety item. I'd think by cutting the back of the bumper beam it could cause some serious degradation of absorbtion by the front rails by the beam splitting in two.
It's an awesome mod...but at what cost?
I know someone that installed that LLtek crap bumper cover and they LEFT THE RAIL OUT! Talk about unsafe.

Well, thankfully you have me, who was hit up front after the coversion...
It held up fine protecting the engine and accessories (fogs, etc), but of course, insurance floated the bill on the replacement brace, which has been cut, again.
cheers.
cheers.
