Well you could get a GT take-off bumper, or just notch yours out. You can simply make a template of the already cut out for you exhaust and just copy the template to the other side. It is really easy to notch it out.

You could do it yourself. Unless you have no faith in your skillllz like myself. I took her to a muffler shop and they made the cut, installed duals, made me love my car all for tree fiddy.

if you notch it out get some touch up pain to cover up the black plastic bumper and any thing other minor scratches ...and some fine grand sand paper before you touch it up....that just what I did. I got all of my info from afixer he knows all

Oh and another thing. I was nervous as heck when getting everything done. It was rough. But I found a local muffler shop known for his extraordinairiousness and was very comfortable with the way everything turned out. You may want to do what I did. Ask around. Ask friends and neighbors. Post signs on telephone poles inquiring about good muffler shops. Pay for your question to be posted on public bussing. You will get your answer....or!! Just do it yourself! Like some of these guys on here. But I can't. Not without proper teaching. I would mess everything up!

Believe or not, Meinekie did mine (cutout & all) & it came out great...as a cosmetic dress up, I bought soem black door trim and wrapped it around the cutouts for uniformity and it looks great...(just a thought)...You really cannot see it here but it looks nice
