Cutting the Factory Bumper Down with Pic

Ok this is Hipper's Jeep, but I need to know has anyone tried this bumper mod, and if so any advice? Are you happy with it or regret it?

That bumper looks great. It might take some liquid courage to break out the sawzall though. Maybe if something (a rock) were to f#*% up the ends of my bumper.

What would be the best way to cut that bumper? I would think the sawzall would be jagged. Maybe a dremel? Or just a hacksaw?

If it were me, I'd probably take my time pre-scoring it heavily with a utility knife and then hacking it off with a sawzall that had a fine tooth metal cutting blade. I have cut through vehicle plastic using a cutoff wheel on a dremel and although it works, it tends to melt the plastic and make a mess.
