Here is mine:
Yes, that was a stock bumper.
I'm going Vmount instead of Front mount though. I'm thinking about mounting my oil cooler behind the extra cutout.
Yeah, if your gonna cut large amount of the bumper out it starts to get very flimsy and should be reinforced. Mine has some FG reinforcement.

You should also get a front lip to help direct the air into the intercooler. Right now it looks like the air would just go under your intercooler. It won't solve the problem of only half the core being exposed to fresh air but it will help what is get more air flow.
