I pulled my front and rear off the other day to do just this, i WILL REPORT BACK HOW EASY/DIFFICULT IT WAS FOR ME.

 

sweet let me know!!

 

Bought some towhooks from another forum member, as soon as they come I'm cutting down the from bumper, i'll post pics. Simple mod and I agree it looks great. Can't wait to get to it.

 

Sawzall.

Seriously.

 

it's easy to do. just take your time and make sure everything is laid out properly b4 u start to cut. i used tinman080's write-up for the basic layout and kinda tweaked here and there for personal preference. i used a dremel for the cutting of the plastic and a grinder for the metal. i couldn't find black split shank rivets at any of my local stores so i just used expanding bare aluminum ones with washers on the back. (use of washers requires access to the back side of the rivets so you'll have to drill holes in the back of the plastic bumper to accommodate that) if you have any questions feel free to ask. good luck

Driver's side all ready to cut


Passenger side just finished (there was some existing damage to this end of the bumper, so ignore that)


Driver's side clearance


Passenger side clearance


Completed installation

 

The first cuts the hardest

 

i saw one were it didnt have rivets.. and was a little shorter and it looked bad as shit ill find the picture

 

I did mine as well, looks pretty much identical to the above pictures. Just take your time, as the old saying goes...measure twice, cut once.
