Don't do it unless it's a full track car or something. One tap = no more rear.

it usually applies to 92 up cars that don't need the reinforcment to support the bumper cover. you can cut large sections out of your support for wieght purposes and just keep the structure that holds the cover.

Doesn't the JDM bumper use a lightweight reinforcement? Might be worth the money.

From paswordjdm.......

"Civic EF CRX SiR Rear Bumper Cover Price: $99.00 USD
Genuine JDM Honda
Super lightweight bracket - there's not a whole lot of metal there, but there's enough to keep the bumper in place!!!"

You may want to explore that option, I am.

so you would rather spend 99 dollars vs. cutting the support you already have for free?

The JDM is sligthly different as well. Besides, if you decide to sell the car and have cutout the supports, you might find yourself in some legal problems should anything happen.
