Good thing you didn't sneeze while cutting your plastic bumper :lol:

Trimming my bumper was the biggest waste of time, yet! I took if off for a wheeling trip a week after that, and I have now had it off for about 3 months. You get used to it after a while. No current plans to put it back on, but I am making one.

I've found that a pair of sheet metal shears works very well for trimming. Just trim a little at a time...maybe over a period of a few months. Get it where you want it, and then you're good. You can use masking tape to make lines so that it's even left to right.

OHHH I thought this was like...you know trimming of the actual bumper not that plastic junk ;) Just kidding, I always wanted to do that but ended up taking it off, and then I hacked the metal down to where the tow hooks are. I can find pics if anyone wants.
