How did you make your exhaust cut-outs on your bumper? I got the rt exhaust like 3 weeks ago and am looking for some ideas.

Yup....still got the 7 year old Bright White plymouth neon paint. I need to do some major work on the rear bumper though. Thanks for the compliments.

Well man I went to Home Depot and got myself the $30 black & Decker "dremel" tool. With all the attachments it came with it made it super easy to do. I just put the exhaust in there, drew out some lines, put the neon on jack stands and got underneath and cut it out with the sanding pads that came with the dremel on medium speed.

It's a great way to do it, but if you don't have previous experience with a dremel you might want to practice on some wood or something else to get the feel of it before hacing up your bumper. GOod luck man.

Thanks buddy. My hands usually shake like a tree....oddly enough, they stop when I am doing something like that. It's really a weird thing.

You know I actually went though about 3-4 to get this done. I really think I could have gone through less but I messed up and did'nt clean the disc off after a long cut. One thing that really helped is that I wore some heavy duty gloves, and if the melted bumper pieces started to bunch up on the disc, I would just clean it off with my gloves on...made them last alot longer.

i think my problem is that i tend to angle the disc... then it snaps..... then pieces smack me in the face.
