Saw this today on Facebook on one of the groups I joined. Have not seen it before. Just thought I would share.

It’s kinda growing on me. I mean to install a bumper we have to cut. This would not be bad for someone who does not have a bumper yet.

New bumper.

I'd cut straight across just under the fog lights, never liked the underbite thing.

FWIW I think it looks good head on, not so much from the side. As you all have said though, if you're getting a bumper you're cutting it anyway so why not.

I am going to do it this weekend and make some shims / spacers to replace that damn ugly bars that sticks out both sides. I think that makes it look bad

I think you would want that slight bend over the edge for some rigidity. If not it might flap in the wind.

Yes, someone cut straight across. Would love to see how that turns out.

If you went up that high just make sure you leave enough room for some kind of pinch lace molding or something finish off the cut line. I was just doing a mock up to see what it would look like
