New trailer hitch installed.

Well, I really wish you guys had gotten me that digital camera for christmas. You only have yourselves to blame.

Spent a few hours putting it on, 1/2 hour to install hard parts, the rest to cut the opening in the bumper for the hitch. I spent a lot of time here. Its not perfect, but looks much better than the ones we usually do.
I also had to drop the blower motor and remove debris from it. It started making noise like something was flapping, turns out a few leaves had worked thier way down to it.
My new tires were ordered this morning, and the rims should arrive midweek.

What's Best Way to Cut Bumper for Trailer Hitch?

Hi,

I was wondering what is the best way to cut the bumper for the trailer hitch. I tried using aviation cutters, but they were kind of messy.
