I need to know exactly how much cutting or grinding on the stock bumper and fenders is required. I've been told it's minor but that is too subjective.

Default Yes, we've got the Achtuning intercoolers

The cutting of the stock bumpers is indeed fairly minor with the appropriate tools. Hard to explain without pics, but email Josh D, he's got the step-by-step he can hook you up with.

Default yes, cutting of the fender/radiator bracket is minor, the bumper needs some...

...clearancing though. No pics of the inside of the bumper though...

Default how about the fenders,bumper supports or frame rails? any cutting required?

I think Josh might be too busy with the grand opening to reply to my email messages. Thanks for the info.

Default a dremel will probably take you all day to use...use a cutting wheel

i went through about 4 wheels to complete the car.

Not sure how thick the metal is, but could you use a nibbler?
