yah i cut it myself, the got touch up paint and painted the edges then put 2 layers of clear gloss over it that comes in a spray can. Looks awesome...cant tell that I cut it

What i used was a Sawzaw with a Metal cutting blade (the finer the blade, the smoother the cut)

Cut the grill with a Dremel tool using a standard cutting wheel. Took about 2 1/2 hours. Inner frame support was cut with a Sawzall. I also painted the entire inside of the front bumper flat black.
