How bad do you really have to cut?? Any visibility of such to the exterior of the car? Thanks.

Default People love to exaggerate. It really isn't that much cutting IMO.....Nothing like those with FMICs!
Nothing visible at all and not one single regret from me.

Speaking of exaggerating.... the FMIC really is not much cutting either sans the bumper support

Default Not one. Nothing's visible from outside the vehicle or really even inside the engine bay...
...the cutting is simply removing some of the support structure plastered to the inside of the bumper. The biggest issue was simply having to physically mess with the trouble of doing the cutting when you'd rather be putting your car back together and driving it at that time.

No but the proper hose kit makes all the difference.
