Anyone with the Tsunami front kit on their civic?

A buddy of mine is thinking about getting this kit, and he wanted to make sure you didnt have to remove the front bumper support to install it, so to anyone who has this kit on their civic...Did you have to remove the bumper reinforcements to get the kit to fit? This is front bumper only by the way. Here is a pic for those who arent familiar with the Tsuanmi kit.
