Thumbs up What to do with the front bumper?? HELP!!

Hello, I am stuck trying to figure out what I want to do with the front bumper, I dont know if I should leave the bumper as is to kind of keep the front mount intercooler hinden, or cut it to allow the intercooler to do a more efficent job. There is a pic to should how much i would cut off the bumper to let the front mount do its job! Tell me what you people would do.

YES silly Wa rules, I am not to worried about the placement of the plate. May just cut the bumper then toss the plate in the window untill i can find some way to mount it, might mount the plate just to one side of the whole i cut out? not to sure, any ideas?

If it's in the budget, maybe get a bumper that has a hole big enough for the intercooler?

I agree for the most part, but unless you spend some serious time I can't see hacking out a hole in the stock bumper looking better.

well the plan is to not just simply cut a hole, what i want to do is cut it out just to the inside of the end tanks, then make some kind of brace i can mount to the bar with the hood lack and make it so it presses nice and firm against the edge of the bumper where i cut. i have seen a few cut bumpers look wavy around the cut out part so I dont want that to hapen, then of coutse take my time with the cutting.
