lovely car, really like the work you have put in
but with the IC your running, there is really no need for that cut out
i would relove the lower bar on the grill fro extra airflow on a standard bumper, which will be all your need
standard bumper would be a 100% improvement

never understood why people would like them big gaps in the front bumper. Sure it keeps things cooler but it looks horrible in my opinion
