Been wanting to try this for over three years started it last night. Had already cut out a hole for the tail pipe so started on that side and went from there. Can't recall anyone else doing this

Looks good Tom...just remind me not to follow you down a gravel road. :p

Bought time someone cut into the rear bumper, I think it makes it look as if it sits higher.

I'll be taking some more tomorrow 3/4 shots and full view from the side. Will post here and on LOST;)
Its not cut quite as high as the ARB but within an inch or so.

For anyone interested if you look at the flares there is a pop rivet almost to the bottom, I cut right below that so the flare is still attached good at the bottom

Same way you do when you cut anything
Pick a line
Start cuttin!


Yep its like "grab a root and growl. " Have to start somewhere. I had a half moon cut out for my 4 inch exhaust tip ( now gone) so used that height and went for it! No looking back
:D:D:D:DPlus its only plastic, they make more everyday, its like when I cut big holes in the hood, drill/cut/ step back, breath again
