Has anyone removed the small clips welded onto the front fenders to support the bumper ? They seem to do very little to actually hold the bumper and don't look that nice.
Just wondering if people do this ? Any pictures with them gone

Thanks

I’m thinking that they were more for using the bumper to support/stiffen the fender.
