Hello Manny, thanks for reaching out. The best way to cut the bumper fascia is with a rotary tool. This will make cutting very easy and it will give you a nice clean cut. A lot of our installers in our videos will just use tin snips or a utility knife, but we do this type of install virtually every day, so we are quite familiar and comfortable with it. A rotary tool will be your best bet.

Hey Manny, how did the fascia cut go on your Lexus when fitting the Draw-Tite hitch? Did the rotary tool give you that clean finish you were after? Your update could make it easier for others doing the same install.
