Just wondering how many people out there have aftermarket bumpers and either had to remove, modify, or got lucky to keep the front reinforcement bar in place.

Im running a Evo5 and it looks like I may have to cut a good portion of the rebar out or remove it completely to get a nice fit.

Im no engineer but if I remove it I think I will need some good welding and pipe bending skills to make my own radiator/engine protection

I have a MP5 front bumper from the first group buy way back...And with my intercooler, I have no re bar. But im doing a BPt swap and I want to try mounting the intercooler and running the piping differently to put the rebar back in either whole or modified.

I got the Mazdaspeed replica from Erebuni, and had no trouble at all.
Rebar is still in place, and removing it has never been an option for me.

I used to have an invader front and had to cut the ends of it off so that the re bar didn't poke out the holes of the bumper.
