Default Stock bumper cut, what'yall think?

Just did this about a week ago now, used a metal grinding disk and just measured 2 inches from the front and taped it off ontop and the bottom, very easy took me about 10 mins just to cut through it but after i drilled a 9/16 hole on the metal bracket that holds the front bumper onto the jeep (because you cut off the stock bumper mounts) then used 3/8s bolts, washer, nuts and painted her black! I think it gives it a nice look aside from the wings practically hanging over my tires. Tell me what ya guys think of this!?

Looks great. I'm a big fan of the stubby look, whether it be the stock bumper or aftermarket. Well done!

I used a kit from Rough Country for mine, but end result is a "stock" stubby.
