mod the bumper for FMIC
I wanted to cut off my black center piece on the bumper, but i notice there is bumper support right behind it. For you guys who did this mod for your FMIC, what did you guys do with the bumper support? cut that too? (is that even possible?)

Most people remove the bumper support to install the front mount.

You need to cut the sides down at an angle.
