Front bumper cover trimming?
What tool are you guys using to trim/cut the front bumper cover for tire clearance?

I used a saber saw. I probably would have used my air body saw, but it's a cheap Harbor Freight thing and keeps giving me trouble!
Either way, choose a blade suitable for ABS/Plastic, and tape everything with masking tape to avoid scratching/cracking remaining paint.
