I'm not right now, I've heard eventually you will have problems if you don't. Less than 15 passes on my setup though, it doesn't see a lot of race time because I've had some bad luck breaking stuff

No support here, it still attaches at the middle & sides, I cut out the center for airflow. There's not much weight in what's left. Car has about 400 miles & 40 or so passes since I did it. You could probably tie it to the bottom of the IC.

That's exactly how I cut my front. Attached the bottom of the bumper to the radiator support bracket with 2 zip ties (redneck....but works great). After three months of daily driving I've had no issues.
