x2, on the saw and get a long enough blade. The thought was scary cutting the bumper up, but when all is said and done the outcome is worth it. This look should have been done at factory...

I just sold my stock bumper to one of my friends so he could do this. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

Very easy to do. The only regret was buying a cordless saws all to do this versus corded. Spent more time recharging the damn thing then it took to do this mod. But, one I did this I was confident enough to install the StarFab smart doors. That is he mod I was most nervous over.

Right side done, started left but had to stop to recharge.
