Where can I cut my bumper for quad exhaust?

Hello all,
I'm planning to go to quad exhaust on my CLK 500. I want to get AMG replica tips which are a little wider than the aftermarket single dual tip I have on my car, so I need to cut my bumper to fit the tip on the left and make a whole new cut on the right. Does anybody know a GOOD shop that can make it look professional for a good price? I'm in Southern California around LA County. Thank you.

Well.... I'm not in CA, but I would think most reputable (non-hole in the wall) body shops should be able to cut the openings for you. So they don't have to figure out where to cut, I would suggest outlining where the cut is to be made.

I can tell you a way to do that if you're interested. I cut mine myself using a Dremel.

Whay I was planing was getting some transfer paper trscing the left size and placing it over the right side.

The other method would have been pure mesurements with a mesuring tape

Thanks Fatz. I'll try a local body shop and see what they say when I get my tips. I will NEVER try to do it myself lol I don't want to risk it!

Do I show him the tips and he does the rest of the work because my tips are bigger than what I have on right now. I called and he said $75. Is that a good deal and does he do professional work? Thanks BTW
