So I recently purchased a custom front bumper for 70 bucks off of ebay. I took my stock bumper off to fit the new one and the only way it fits is if I remove the metal bumper support. Is this what everyone normally does? I don't want to be 5 more inches closer to death, so I'm thinking about cutting and welding the support so it's still bolted on, but not in the way of the fascia. Also, will the hatchback side skirts fit on my coupe? I am trying to save money and peice together my own body kit to save money and stretch out my spending. Also what should I expect to pay to have it painted to match my factory color? A good friend of my father quoted me $130 for the front bumper. I wish thinking I could do the side skirts and rear lip myself, but where can I get factory matched paint?

Thanks,
