Got My New Setup! Pics Included

Looks great. I noticed you cut that upper support out above the radiator and put a bar in its place. I have contemplated this since my 88 suffered some front end damage from the previous owner. That bar got bent and he bent it back so the hood latch was functional, but it looks like **** to me. I was wondering if it would effect the integrity by removing it?

I cannot notice any negative effects in chassis rigidity or anything. I was amazed at how tough the bar is - I would say that with proper bolting to the car, it is easily as sturdy as the stock bar was. Unfortunately, you will have to get hood pins now, as I do not think it would be very easy to attatch the hood latch mechanism to the bar.
