Trimming front bumper

Hey guys - relatively new to TW. Just got a '17 TRD OR about 6 months ago. Finally got it lifted yesterday.

I like the look of the factory front bumper trimmed up under the the fog lights going back to the fender. Has anyone posted instructions or videos on how to do this? I could start ripping stuff apart and figure it out on my own but I assume someone already documented this. I've searched TW and googled/youtubed it but can't find anything - only on how to do CMC (which I do not need).

 

I’ve seen other videos on people cutting them to install an aftermarket bumper. I think you could take what they do but just trim the way you want?
Most of them use painters tape to mark the cutting lines. This will also give you a visual of what it will look like after it’s cut. Good luck and keep us updated. I’m interested

 

there was someone who posted something here a couple months ago on that. If I find it I will add the link.

 

It’s very easy. Bumper is just plastic. If you’re not going to install a specific aftermarket bumper, ever, then you can just pick the lines that are already there on the bumper body and carry them to the fender well. Keep in mind if you ever do install an aftermarket bumper like mine it needs specific lines cut so that everything lines up when bumper is installed. But as said before if you never install an aftermarket bumper there’s no need to be specific just cut where you see fit. Then there’s the option for some aftermarket bumpers that you just remove the entire plastic bumper and install the new aftermarket.

Ah yes! that's exactly what I'm trying to do and was looking for. Thank you @mhornco
