Default how to cut the lower valance??

Well I don't know if iam posting in the rite place. But anyways, I want to know with what or what would be best to cut the fog light holes on my lower Valance on my silvy. I want to run my stock fog lights or just pick up a ram air scoop, but I need to cut the holes out. Any input would be appreciated!

,Jamie

Well i have found imo usin a small drimmel with a rotozip bit made 4 plastic works great, u have to have a pretty steady hand cus it will get away from u. Other than that usin a blade is difficult especially around the corners.

Dremel. Then use a heat gun and go around the cut to smooth the edges out.

I used a rotozip. Just start right in the center so you can get a feel for it, It can get a little wild. Then sande the edges, Good idea with the heat gun
