Yes I would cut that piece, I plan on installing an aftermarket steel bumper someday
Yes I would cut that piece, but I don't plan on changing my bumpers
No I would not cut that piece, but I would like a steel replacement winch bumper
No I would not cut that piece, but I would like a steel replacement non-winch bumper
No I would not cut that piece, but I don't plan on changing my bumpers on this vehicle

Oh ya, and as you can see I pushed the fairlead out a couple of inches to meet up with the stock bumper cover. So you can even build a bumper that is shallower than the stock one for greater approach angles. That would make for a great wheeling bumper!

Are the mounts I see to the sides for the Matrix?

In conclusion: Lets cut that center section so we can have a sick bumper that doesn't stick out 3 feet in the front
Yes! I wanted to allow the Matrix to still be used.
This way I still have shackle and light mounts!

I need to get my hand on one of those so I can try to make the bumper compatible with that system if possible.Yes! I wanted to allow the Matrix to still be used.

It just mounts to the same spots as the factory tow hooks doesn't it?
Yes but the Matrix rides up right in front and over the bumper. I think that is his concern.

I don't think that would be necessary I mean if I had a steel bumper why would I need to get the matrix?
