yeah you can cut out the license plate portion to make a replica hotroad front bumper (and a few other brands look like this).
if its the OEM jdm bumper then yes it can handle it since it is urethane we are talking about.
look thru the pic's thread and you will see what a few members have done to their oem 180 kouki front bumpers (three slotted and one large slot version)
anything is possible with a good body shop.
