Greddy FMIC install

Guys I am installing my Greddy FMIC and found upon reinstalling the front bumper cover it needs to be trimmed. It does not say anything in the directions about cutting the bumper cover.My car is mint and i dont want it to look butchered up. Does anyone have a way to make clean cuts ? Please help

I used a dremel tool with the rotary blade and took a LOONG time trimming little by little and you cannot even tell my bumper has been trimmed. Key on this one, however you decide to do it, is to take your time and just go little by little. It is easy to take off a little more, but impossible to add a little back.

Where did you purchase the kit from? I'm planning to purchase a greddy front mount in the next couple of weeks, how did you find the installation?

The cutting should be on the inside of the bumper and not noticeable from the outside...

I used my air cut-off wheel... What color is your bumper? I have my stock front bumper that was cut PERFECT for the greddy 2 row front mount. It's montego blue.

It needs to be trimmed as well. You really cant get away from it, just be careful and take your time, it comes out fine.
