NYC: Body Shop recommendations to trim bumper for Quads

nyceric03 · 01-18-2021, 11:19 AM

Getting into the mod bug for a new to me f25 right now, looking for anyone who would trim the bumper for a quad (remus) setup. All the shops around me consider it too small a job apparently so might do it myself but wondering if anyone had good experiences at any shop for a quick trim?

I did mine with a die grinder on my Range Rover Sport. It's not that hard.

Follow up with course sandpaper. Might want to mask the area so you don't accidently scratch the surrounding bumper.

I think I saw AutoCouture do this on a customers car on Instagram. Check them out they are in North NJ.

Not the prettiest cut, but with my quad exhaust(remus) and bootleg tips("akrapovic") its not that bad

Looks nice! No one examines the fascia with the shiny tips next door.

I need to do a DIY on this. I hunted down some templates, but really making your own seems to work best. Problem is, when I work on a project I'm really bad at taking pics. That said, I need to make some tweaks on my work, so I can recreate when I have it off the car!
