Did anyone make the cut in the bumper themselves? If so, what did you use?

heated up a sharp pocket knife. Worked great.

 

the bodyshop i went to drilled and then started cutting.

 

Thanks for the pic. I actually just completed it myself. I used a Dremel.

First I obviously applied the stencil, then some masking tape.

After that I used a Dremel to cut a rough pilot hole and sanded it to fit from there.

It fits quite well and I'm happy with it, except it doesn't quite contour perfectly to my bumper vertically. Close enough though.

Thanks for the input guys.

Anyone have the stencil only for the varis air duct? I just want to cut the hole in my bumper, dont need the cf duct...
But if I wanted to add the cf duct later, i want the cut to be right.

 

you just wanna cut a hole in your bumper for now?

 

si

 

i use a kitchen knife... worked well... jes have to use ur judgement on the da size of knife u want to use...

 

well i almost got this done yesterday at Performance Factory here in Orlando. But Jeremy was concerned about it not looking right since his car is black and mine is blue. I will prob just get the carbon fiber varis air duct...just wasn't looking forward to spending $200 on that simple thing!

 

I used a box cutter, applied my template and traced out the hole with a red pen. Took 5min to make the hole and the end result looks perfect.

 

Can you post pics??? What color car do you have?

Thanks.

I don't have any pics of the install but I can go out and take a pic of my Z real quick. I have a Silver Stone Touring Z.

 

i would appreciate that so much! hey i think this cut out may look better on black and silver z's, versus say blue or red. looking forward to seeing the pic...

 

Here you go Ignore the date on the PICS, my buddies camera is slightly off, LOL.

 

That looks sweet - love the color contrast on the hood too.

 

TY

 

sick ride bro, where'd you get those wheel center wheel caps?

 

Man, I thought we were talking about just the cut out WITHOUT the carbon fiber air duct!

Car looks nice though...

 

Thanks man, the center caps are actually fender emblems which have been glued to the original cap. I did not need to cut these down in any way, the opening on the rims is the same size as the emblems. Looks like it was made like that and it does not stick out either

 

wow i'm going to have to look into that. you just get the caps from a dealer or did you find them cheaper somewhere else?
