88404, Whats the best way to cut out the ribs
Posted by eclipseman1999, Aug-27-05 08:16 AM

I want to open up my front bumper for my hahn fmic and was wondering whats the best way to cut out the ribs at the top of the opening. I dont want to mess up the paint or anything.

Use a dremel with a cutoff wheel if you have one. Or get a hot knife and slice slowly through it.

A rotozip is the best thing to use for something like that.

And that's one reason i don't want a front mount even if they do look hot

Yeah, because people should get a FMIC because they look good.

definitely not what i meant, i love that nobody sees mine and suspect its a nonturbo

anyways this is way off topic so i'm just gonna agree with the dremel thing
