Default CDC Shaker Install Feedback/Pics

I just purchased a CDC shaker for my 06...I was curious to find out what cutting equipment was used out there to install these. Air saws, jig saws, sawzall, and nibblers etc...I have access to all this equipment and wanted to get a consensus from the people who have actually installed these.

Thanks

I just used a jigsaw with a fine toothed blade, worked great. Just measure 7-8 times to place your template before you score the paint with a knife and then drill a hole for the blade to go thru. point of no return!

You said to measure 4 times in your other thread...

Be a man, measure once. That's what I did... Im pretty impatient though.
