Hey guys. I just picked up my buddy club kit. I want to cut holes for the parking lights. Anyone recommend what I should use to do the cutting? The guy at the hardware store said to drill a hole, then use a hack saw and cut from the face in. BTW, It's not painted yet.

Very fine blade hacksaw or keyhole say will work. You'll need to sand it and use some sort od body filler or putty around the edges unless the body shop is going to do this for you.

Draw the holes W/ a pencil and use a grinder on a dremel tool. Thism is what bodyshops use. I used it to shape the upper part of my front bumper so I could get the engine plastics in.

Cool, that's what I was gonna do. Dremels on ebay are cheap as hell too. I made myself some templates tonight for the pattern of the lights. It's gonna be a while though till I get around to it.
I'm gonna be a bondo wizard by the time i'm done with this kit, it's got a few nicks. But i'm sure it's gonna be sweet by the time i'm done with it.
