Be careful, a dremel is easy to lose control with if its on lower RPMs, it will just grab on some plastic and pull your arm, I think an air saw is the way to go, but good luck.

Thanks for the tip, but I managed to control it. Here are some pics:

Car as of now:



Cut detail:



I might order this trim to go on the bumper, haven't decided. Might do it and if it looks ugly trash it:

and I've decided to go with the hex mesh powder coated black as well:

how come no one cut their bumpers like the ASM design?

And can use the materials from the cut out to build a lip for the cut out so there is an indentation before the wire grill?

Woot! Member #15!

I finished the cut, trim, and mesh a few weeks ago and forgot to post. Bump for this mod!





You can see where I could have made the joint a bit more blended, but you can't tell from normal viewing distance so I'm ok with it. I got the mesh and trim from Custom Car Grills.com.
