Awesome thanks. I was thinking about just cuting out the lower section, and then bolting in a piece of aluminum to run along the bottom of the radiator to hold it in.
The only other question I had was about the hood latch bracket. part of the bracket attaches to the lower radiater support. If I cut out the lower support the latch bracket will only mounted to 2 points. Will the hood still open and close correctly?

You shouldnt have a problem with the lower mounting bolt, Mine broke awhile back so only the two points were holding it in and it was fine.
