                        Wondering if removing that will hurt the structural integrity of the strut tower? Great idea though!

                          I hope not. Maybe a strut tower bar will help?

                              You might want to weld in triangular tabs from the strut bars to the inside walls... it's what the Swedes did when they cut those bits off.
