I meant I took the hacksaw blade out of the frame. I left the parts in the bumper and it took about 2 mins each side to do it. so 5 mins including a trip to and from the toolbox

HAHAHA nice.. I am guessing it was easier just using the blade and not have the handles in the way to get a nice long and fine cut. Might have to try this.. only worries I have is the sanding or filing part after to make it not noticable.

If you tape either side of the plastic you are cutting you can cut it virtually flat anyway.
