the the stache serve a purpose?
i like the rendering above, so just cutting it off with a dremel, may be an option. |

I plan on getting one of the darker colors; that DGM looks nice.
However, I have this urge to get that cover painted white, to look like a huge smile with teeth showing. |

Behind it is a giant chunk of foam and then the actual metal bumper. You have to find some way to hide that stuff if you cut off the stache. |

The foam is the absorber and behind that is the front reinforcement, or the real bumper. The foam helps absorb the impact during accident, but also stops rattle. So if u cut it, save some just in case....a tuck here, a tuck there... Does wonders noise.
after accidents, some people don't replace the foam. But say someone backs up into the front, without the foam there is more chance of cracking the bumper cover. |

Front plates are required here, but I'm taking my chances - leaving them off.

There is no way that a mass produced car on an automated production line has to have a section of the vehicle TAPED OFF to prevent paint overspray. Not a chance.
Also just about every southern state in the US has no front plate requirement. So that's a lot of people that don't have to worry about some crappy metal rectangle messing up the front of the car.

MINI does it for their contrast roof color. They paint the whole car body color, then mask everything but the roof to add the contrast color. You can see the tape line when you open the boot or peel off the roof trim bits. You'll just have to accept that Subaru masks their bumpers, which is much simpler than a 2-stage paint process.
