Does anyone know if you can cut the vertical bumper supports off (yellow circles)?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/107183/bumper_supports.jpg"></center><p>and not have the bumper fall apart? I painted them black so they wouldn't show too much but I was wondering If I could take them off completely while keeping a decent bumper integrity.
Thanks a lot.

Default OK, thanks for the info...

...and thanks again for the Genesis injectors recommendation, we have been hitting -15 to -25 C lately and they work really well with the cold starts.

Default It is back in now...

just for the winter though. I closed up the front (added the middle part of the lower grille and 2 stock corner grilles). I will go back to the "open concept" in the summer.

Default No, they are more like....

vertical support pieces that join the top and bottom of the grille opening, they are independant of the removeable lower grille. They're right in front of the FMIC, that's why I was wondering if I could cut them off without screwing the whole lower bumper.

It's 'cause I painted them black, they are originally red (extensions from the upper bumper)
