What I mean is on the stock EG 4 door bumper, has anyone cut out all the little pieces that connect the top and bottom of the bumper to that middle piece? If so, how sturdy does the bumper remain? Thanks everyone!

You mean that line of plastic in the middle? I was thinking of doing that too, to make it look like a wide-mouth style bumper. But I haven't seen anyone who did that yet.

Don't, the bumper will become very flimsy and even flap in the wind while driving.

it can be done to the top part no problem. did it to my old bumper.
but on the bottom part you can cut out the horizontal bits but not the vertical one's. you can also cut out the bits at the edges

I cut it out on my bumper to install a Grillecraft grill. I like the way it looks for my DD with black headlights but I'll be leaving it on my project car for a more OEM look.
The bumper does become more flimsy with it cut out if you don't put something there to replace it.
