I'm pretty sure that it is part of the actual bumper, unfortunately.

it has to be cut, no other way. not really that hard to be honest just do it slowly and be careful and you will be fine.

If you're doing it to let more air to your intercooler I doubt it would make much difference.

at first it was for a little more air, but yeah i doubt it would make any difference. I think it would look better though, show more of the fmic. so just use a small hacksaw?
