I have avoided the cutting of that bracing, for same reason - concern at impact on structural rigidity. Plus authorities here would go ape-***** if they twigged.

But that, now that is gold. Looks solid, well secured to the two rails - probably stronger/stiffer than the original (at some weight penalty).. Give it a coat of engine bay paint, and it could be original.

Considerably lighter than the OEM bumper bar, and much closer to the center of the car for improved PMI.

It's neat, maybe we should have made them haha. But frankly, you'll notice our catalog includes almost nothing that you can't just bolt on in your garage, with the exception of internal engine parts which we are slowly phasing out. This is by design. This is more of a DIY piece that would inevitably require more customer support, doesn't really fit in with what we do. Pretty neat piece, though.

Yup, the center plate is 3/8" thick 6061 T-6 aluminum plate. Not heavy even with the steel brackets on each end.
