doesn't look goood man when it's ripped off. the previous owner of my car hit a curb and it ripped off. It exposes all the bolts that holds the bumper and undertray on the car. Looks real ugly

need a direct profile (side) shot to know for sure if it looks good... I suspect it will not look as good as painted - as it will be higher the sides.

But this is only my opinion... it really doesn’t matter what anyone other than the owner thinks.

Trust me man. Do not cut it. Bolts will be exposed as well as the front of the undertray. It looks ugly. I had it my oem bumper until I got the aero kit. I couldn't stand it
