Default Pics of my Bumper Cut, Does it look O.K.?

Made the cut in my bumper yesterday and thought I would take a few pics.

Looks factory!!! I would suggest that you get a bottle of touch-up paint to seal the edges where you made the cut. That way there's less chance for moisture to go under the paint on the bumper and chip.

It looks like the cutout on the right side (the factory one) is higher than your cut. Other than that, it looks good.

Maybe it's the angle of the picture but the left side looks smaller than the right.

Thanks, Tools are not my friend! The touch up paint is a great idea! The cut is a little smaller, and I didnt go as high because I didnt want to cut all the way to the seam ( iwas afraid it might generate cracks). ..............wish my dang GT take offs would get here....

looks good, but you may want to make your cut a little higher. Check out my web site and see how I did mine. You can use a file. I have not had any problems with paint peeling off either.
