How should i cut out the fog light squares in the front bumper, its painted and i dont want it to chip off, then little by little the paint starts to chip off and everything just falls apart.

any idea?

I cut mine out with a razor knife... but then again its just the black plastic valance.

I'm not really sure what would work best for your valance?

:word: just cut it slow. Maybe spray it with some clear afterwards to prevent the chipping

tape it off and then use a dremel

:word:
tape it off, plan your cut with a sharpie, then cut slowly with a dremel.

I was wondering about cutting with the dremel also. I wonder if it would "heat/seal" the edge of the painted plastic?

I'd buy the GM fog kit with new deflector :thumbsup:

I think he wants to keep his already painted part:imo
might ask the people who painted it originally, they should be able to tell you how to cut through without lifting the paint

bought some clear today.... ill let you guys know how it came out.

edit: hey should i cut from the back of the bumper or front, does it even make any differance?

my guess would be from the front - this way you can monitor any paint dmage that may occur. Just go slow and try to use a dremel tool.

I would tape it off and go slow. I cut my stock grill out with a dremel and it went very easily through the plastic so beware that it can get away from you quick if you dont keep it going slow...

 

[nekkidhillbilly]

tape it off score it with a box cuter then cut it out with a dremel

yeah the tape is gonna keep your paint and edges good. hopefully you dont go real crazy with a blade or dremel so the tape should work.
