Default Fender/Bumper trimming party???

Well I see that the south area has something like this and that SoCal has something like this I was wondering if anybody on the east coast would be interested in doing some kind of fender trimming or bumper trimming party? I'm really interested about doing my fenders and after seeing bluewater's bumper Steph really wants to do her front bumper. The kicker is I don't really have the know-how or tools or courage to do it on my own. Is anybody interested in doing somethings to there fenders or bumper? Let me know maybe we can high-jack somebody's garage and tools.

I have the garage/tools in Front Royal, but I'm by no means an expert as I replaced, not cut mine. If you can find an expert, we can certainly arrange working in my garage.

I would make sure about the fender trimming. I think you have to have the side marker lights in Virginia( Someone please correct me on this if I'm wrong). May want to make sure you have some sort of set up to replace them if neccesary. I wouldn't mind helping out. But I am no expert.

I think you just need a sawzall with a good bi-metal cutting blade to do the front bumper, and just make a nice even cut, thats what a guy at RC told me

Well I got the sawzall and blades covered, now we need an expert and we're set. Of course since mine don't need cutting, expert will be a loose term for me as an "observer/host" lol...
