i got hit in a parking lot the other day. i was not around and the person drove off. but the bottom of my bumper was pushed in. so it gave me an excuse to do some cutting. i still have to do some touch ups to make it smoother, but here's how it looks now

Looks great! Just about identical to mine. I tried to make the lines near the reflecter things look as smooth as possible, then took a straight edge to clean it up. I think cut bumpers look a lot more aggressive 8) .

Oh well awesome, haha. What kind of tool did you use? It shouldn't be too hard to get it looking straight and clean. And then you have one sharp looking bumper!
