Cutting Bumper for FMIC

I finally have enough cash for an S/C, so sometime in November I will place an order for either the TBKO S/C or the PLP Vortech. Me and some of my friends are going to try to do the install, one of my good friends dad is mechanic and my other friends are into cars as well.
This installation itself doesn't seem to be that difficult but I was wondering if we are going to have to cut a whole in my D-Speed front bumper to fit the FMIC?? Has anybody even installed either kits yet?

That bumper does require cutting...But all depends..I know the PLP intercooler is smaller than the TBKO...so all depends...But yes had my Dspeed on and it looked to be a great deal of cutting but I have a massive intercooler....I would say jus play it by ear...Youll prolly have to cut the inside edge of the bumper and MAYBE have to repaint if the cutting is in plain sight...
