    Would anybody in the Bay Area be willing to help me install my front bumper? I just ordered a Relentless hybrid bumper the other day.
    Really scared with the cutting as I have no experience with this.

    Dude, i have a booked solid weekend... but here's a good few tips... Use painters tape (blue tape) to protect the surrounding area of where the cut will be. It also gives you a clean surface you can mark up with a sharpie... For cutting, get a Dewalt or similar oscillating tool to make the cut... low low heat as opposed to a grinder.... and you can control the cut very easily...

    Did a cut on mine. Eliminated the rubbing up front and made my approach angle better. Didn't cut the liner, just used a heat gun to push it out of the way and zip tie it up.

    Nicely done! Congratulations.

    Could you please point me to the black 'trim strip' you've used on the cut edges. (I know there is a name for this - but it eludes me at the moment.)

    I would appreciate a link to that... I like the textured finish.
