i say you go for it man and heres some reasons to do it lol

1. its very simple to do2. theres no sag3. and looks better

if the bumper doesn't sag when you cut the support bar... then what the heck is it supporting? i think it might sag over time if it's cut. personally, i want the cmod and not have the support bar visible, but i wouldn't cut off anything with the word "support" as part of the name. I'd either replace it, or find a better way to hide it like paint it matte black

Ya i plan on having my a/c for while and getting a stillen lip so i dun want any sagging.....I do not want to see that damn thing but I also dun wana deal with any problems....I'm thinking i might paint it and if it drives me nuts then maybe ill chop it off.

[sickkwidit]

it wont drive you nuts lol

you could paint the mesh to where you cant really see threw itthat could be another option

do what ESP did, paint the c mod grill white.... looks good and makes it really hard to see the support bar.

[Hussain]

if you paint the support bar a mate black and the mesh a mate black and the radiator a mate black, you wont even be able to see it....

Chop the support bar off. It is horrible. I have the t-rex grill and I replaced the support bar with a smaller aluminum bar. Very easy to do, and u can barley see it, and no sag. Had it for over a year now and there is no sag. Hear is the write up I did on in. It's in the table of contents. http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=368327

But if you don't replace the support bar will something bad happen over time?

[Infantry1327]

I couldn't tell you for sure. I wasn't willing to risk it, so I replaced it. When I took it off, it didn't really seem to do much. But better safe than sorry. Especially since the T-rex grill is alot heavier than the stock grill
