I have a IRC on my 2g..and almost everyone takes the bumper support out but I cut mine...so its perfect now and I have a good ol supported bumper...so I would cut it...and use it...

I think dejontool also makes a bumper support for the 1g's that is lighter and clears a FMIC.

Here is my view on bumper supports. Yeah they are heavy, so what. I cut mine. You know why???

Well IF I had an accident, not only would it probably help save my life, it also will help save MOST of what I paid for . The FMIC may be gone, but if you remove it, and you hit something head on like LarryD did. Most if your prizes inside, under the hood will be damaged. If you have the support the crash will be EVENLY distributed across the front and not in one section.

Just my .02
