180 Customs TS-P Lip 2011 G37x Coupe

Hey guys need some help here. So I recently bought a TS-P Lip from Diego (VossenG37s) and I need advice/tips to remove the crossbars to fit the 2011 model. As you guys know, the 2011 model have fog lights where the crossbars would normally fit, so I need to find an effective and inexpensive way to get this bad boy on. I went to my local body shop and they quoted me around $530+ materials to cut out the crossbars, fill in the holes after they were cut, sanding, painting, and polishing. I already talked to G-Lover (Brian) but the thing is cut his whole lip from the crossbars down and then molded it into his bumper, and I don't know if that is the best move for me right now. Pics will be provided. Give your ideas guys! Thanks!

Molding seems like the right and cleanest way to go about it. You're other option that I'm picturing right now is to cut the crossbar starting on one side and go straight across the entire lip to the other side. Essentially everything between the red lines would be gone when you are done.

i say mold it and pay the added cost to do it right. looks way better molded and when your done picture G lovers old set-up and you got that same look. If cost is an issue just do what soolman said.

Thanks Soolman I'll talk to some of my buddies about doing that as a last option. I'll mold it in but if I do that then I'll have to find someone I can trust and who can do it for the right price. I know that Brian (G-lover) had his done for free, but he waited 3 months for it to finish lol.
