You can use a Dremel, but I used a steak knife.

I used a box cutter, something a little more civilized than what Eran used.

I used a blade and a blow torch. Heated the sucker up red and but out whatever I wanted on my bumper in a matter of seconds.

Trick is to stay inside the line you want cut, then come back with the cold knife and shave it away slowly.
