Trimming Crash Bar
Got an AMS GT front bumper, but it doesn't fit over the OEM crash bar.
Anyone trimmed their crash bar down to fit?
How much needs trimming off?
Does it need welding back up after?
Cheers

I personally wouldn't trim it due to integrity loss. If anything cut it off, find a reputable and durable bash bar that would allow the bumper to fit and have it professionally welded on. Don't skimp when it comes to safety. My opinion though.

And just to be clear. You're not talking about the foam part, right?
It can be cut, but only the areas in blue.

Not to take this too far OT, but if it's a real racecar, the Z33 aluminum bumper bar remains an important part. Whether it's the best place to pull from as a tow point, a superior way to dissipate crash energy going off-track, or a strong point to bump draft, I wouldn't delete it.
