XJ looks great. Did you remove the triangle supports the horn is mounted on when you cut the bumper? I have been looking at chopping my bumper similar to that but I didn't know if it was ok to remove those.

No I didn't have to remove them but I did have to relocate the horns on both sides and the vacuum ball, I'll post some closeup pics tomorrow !
