If you have a good enough heavy-duty straight edge you could probably do it. I cut a bit using my cheapo straight edge but the Dremel just made it loads easier. Just wear a mask. I did take off the bumper, there's no other way to do it

Thanks! I really need to get me a good dremel

They go cheap now, make sure to get an actual Dremel not the copies. I got mine for $40 and it's the high speed version meant for steel etc. That's the first thing I hated about the pignose bumper.

Maybe I'll fab or purchase one of those air diversion plates to help the rad more.

I learned my lesson about buying wannabe dremels, that's why I said I need a good one lol. I actually have a cooling panel so I think this might help.

Here is mine. I would love to find a OEM K's Vent/ SMIC Vent to complete my front end mods.
