So after having the cmod for awhile I decided to cut the support bar. TO those who has done this have you experienced any difficulties? and what did you use to cut it.

thanks in advance! :biggrin:

I just cut mine like 3 days ago. It had to go.

I used a Hacksaw, any kind of saw will do.

No need to sand down, the C-Mod Grill will cover up the cut.

Honestly I think it sags a little but is bearly noticable

a hacksaw would prob be the CLEANEST cut, would look the best when its done. i dont really know what else you could use...

:nono: Don't use a knife, you could hurt yourself and the knife :rotfl

you could get a mini hacksaw to to the job propperly http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1 ... ogId=10053

I always believe that having the right tools takes half the time with results twice as good.

Cutting it went successful! I was able to saw it all the way through nice and straight.

I'll take pictures of the cmod grill with no support bar tomorrow :biggrin:

Thank you guys for helping me with the advice and tips!
