Bumper trim, what you guys think?
My tires are rubbing and have started pulling the bumper down on one side. I'm thinking about trimming it? Anyone like this idea?

I dont like the idea of just removing the bumper ends cause then it just leaves it squared off and i think it would look bad i think it looks good, but maybe extend it out a little further like to the corner lights

Seriously though cut 'em and add LED surface mount signals and then post pics!

I cut just a little bit of the corner pieces of the bumper when my 35s hit. I just cut it to follow the way the fender goes pretty much.
If you do end up cutting like your picture shows dont forget about the sheet metal and canister deal that the bumper does hide.
Crappy picture, but you see the sheet metal it hides there that also has to be trimmed and theres a caniaster on the other side. No idea what it does.

Well I didnt cut it, because Im scared. Plus turn signals will be a pain. But I did make a new grill emblem. Its a 4th gen rear hatch emblem painted flat black. I just cut a paice of aluminum and polished it and used double sided tape for the emblems. I work at a body shop and they use double sided tape for the emblems also.
