Default HOW-TO: cutting holes for EK foglight bezels

I need to cut out the holes for the EK foglight bezels. What are some useful tools I would need? I was thinking about getting a mini saw. Or would a razor blade work better? What tools did you use?

Any tips and tricks on making some clean *** cuts on my bumper?

your thread title is misleading, i thought i was going to read a "HOW-TO", not get a question for it.

but to answer you question, your best bet will be a dremel kit, a steady hand and some patients.

he'd only need a patients if he was a doctor looking for work. I think he needs patience.

Use a hole saw. 23mm I believe.

I started working on this project today.

You will need a 40mm hole saw to make 7 big holes.

Once I made the holes, it was a pain in the *** to cut all around the edges. Honda's instructions said to use a utility knife. So I used one.........



However, it was extremely difficult to work with, so I got really frustrated. I searched for something else to use. I ended up using my kitchen knife to cut along the edges. This knife cut thru the plastic like butter.



I took my time, and finished up 1 hole today. I still need to file it down to smooth everything out. I will work on the 2nd hole this weekend.
