long story -

i had a triad dual out exhaust, and i scored an early deep valence.
i had the hole welded up, and was going to have to cut 2 other outlets anyway.....

so now i have a eurorace single out header. guess what, it goes out about where the old hole used to be....

so how do i cut the hole and not fubar the paint?

masking tape? Jigsaw? Dremel spiral saw? plasma (joke?)? 3.5" holesaw?

maybe i can make a nice "trim ring" for the porthole exhaust, kinda like what you see on boats and mustangs where the exhaust goes thru a "porthole"

ideas?

anyone wanna help by GAF next weekend? LOL


EDIT: here is what look like an easy way to cover up a not so stellar hole cut.....
now, can anyone make one for me? LOL
