cutting the rear bumper

AKbmw · 06-02-2007, 08:15 PM

would any bodyshop cut my rear bumper to fit quad tip exhausts 3.5inch each tip... and if they did.. how much would the approximate charge be and how would it look ... (on a jet black car cant see much detail because its dark

)

You can carefully cut that out yourself with a dremel, but you may have to get it painted.

PM me with your more specific location in L.A. I'm in South Bay.

I know of a place in Gardena that would probably do that, but I'm not sure how much they would charge. If you switched to the M-Tech bumper like I have, the diffuser comes off and is very easy to cut. You could install the bumper, remove the diffuser, install your quads, and even drive the car like this. This will give you the time to carefully cut the openings on the rear diffuser.

thanks man for your help.. but i wanna stick to my stock bumper... just want to make the openings a little bigger 7 or 8 inches wide so i can fit 2 3.5inch tips in each side... maybe ill just go to the shop and see hwo much they would charge

thanks
