Thumbs up chopping up my ss bumper

I am currently getting my ss bumer chopped up. I am removing the center bar in the grill. Also I am chopping the bottom of the bumper so that the bottom airdam meets the lower lip. I will post pics when its done or atleast in primer. I just took it in so... it might be a couple weeks. Here is a shitty photoshop of what it should look like. Please if anyone has done this already...post some pics

Before:


Hopefully After:

Its an Lt so I really dont care lol. But yes i am. I really dont want mesh.... but I would like to fab up something that would look somewhat stock. I know that sounds funny but IMO a cleaner look is the way to go....not big,bulky ricer bumpers.

Its gonna be reinforced on the bottom. The pic doesnt do much justice but, They are making brackets for me for the bottom. If it doesnt work then I guess I will be selling some fog lights.
