I think I'm gonna knock out the front bumper chop today. Any tips I should know about before I take a saw to it?

I was thinking about using a jigsaw. Metal Blade for the metal, and wood blade for the bumper.

Finished about an hour ago. A bit rough around the edges but overall, I think I did a decent job considering i've never used any type of saw before.
painted...

location of metal chops...

mounted...



Not sure if I want to leave the end caps on though. I might rechop closer to the crush can area on the plastic part.
