Default question about bumper support

Ill be installing my vortech in a couple of months and am still trying to decide what to do with my bumper support to make room for the intercooler. I can take it out, cut it, or get a custom one made. The thing I am worried about is what if I get into an accident. If its not there will the insurance company not cover any engine front end damage? What if its cut or custom made...I just think that no matter what they wont cover it. Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

id imagine having no support would be the worst choice. I am almost positive they would refuse to pay for anything there

You dont want to run without a support.


Plus you car would be destroyed in a front end collision.

Cutting the stock one would make it very weak and cause excess damage in a wreck.

Just buy one from me I can rearend a truck and destroy the back of the truck and only hurt the bumper cover on mine.

If i can sell a bunch I can get them cheaper. But most people would rather hack up their car then spend the money.
