67-69 cuda front bumper

just curious as to whether anyone here has done some custom work on the 67-69 cuda front bumper. It seems a relatively bulky bumper for the style of the car (compare a camaro or mustang bumper of same era). I've already enlarged the number plate opening to accommodate the longer (and narrower) tags we have over here and I'm also I thinking of thinning the bumper down a little by cutting out the lip along the bottom edge, to open up the area underneath a little more.

Has anyone gone this route?
