Bumper is back from powdercoating, so today was the day we tackled it!

Rough line up:


Initial very conservative cut, wanted to see how the cutting wheel cut the bumper before getting close to what needed to be cut. Used a angle grinder with a 5 inch cutting wheel. Compared to a dremel this was a larger cutting wheel obviously so the cuts were straighter and smoother. I even used to top of the cutting wheel as a sander and it made quick work of the bumper to shave down some high points.


Bumper on, then took it off to trim more, put it back on and here we are.


At this point my friend had to leave so I'm solo. Instead of taking the bumper on and off to line it up, I had just enough room to take the upper stock bumper piece of. Also painted the body that now is exposed with some black paint.


I was able to fairly easily take off and put back on multiple times to trim it to its final shape.


Here is the final result with everything back together! Managed to smooth out the cuts and get it fairly even. If I notice any more issues I can easily remove the upper portion and trim to fit. Just needs a few more finishing touches but overall I am so stoked, been looking forward to this install for months!
