Torqued Off

That's smart. And I personally don't even like the look of removing the seam. Makes it look like a kit car. And, with proper technique, the seam can be minimized just like folks do with door gaps. IMO, if the right body man works on the bumper install, the seam gap will be small and consistent, every peak, and every corner of the front end will properly and smoothly flow into the corresponding peaks on the bumper. It should like a natural, and seperate extension of the front fenders and hood. For anyone with standards, its not that difficult.
