Can anyone in DFW Install Sidemarkers?

Just looking for someone in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area who has experience cutting into fenders for side markers and such...I've had mine sitting around for my gd3 for a while now and am really getting anxious to get them on but am not experienced with a dremel enough to trust myself..

Anyone know of someone who could help or know if I can have this done at a regular body shop?

It would be greatly appreciated!

Just buy a small piece of sheetmetal and practice cut with a dremel and then take a stab at it on your car! You can do it!

Yes I have been on that thread up and down....but your idea with the sheet metal is ingenious! I have no idea why I didn't think of that. I will probably get some tomorrow and practice a time or two make sure I can get it to work, then I will make the attempt!

Wish me luck....I guess worst case, I have to order a new fender and I'll just sticker bomb it till I can replace it hahah

At radioshack they have a thing I think it was called punch out or knock out. It would cut a small square in metal and and you'd just keep going in a straight line till you need it. I used it before when I installed side markers on my prelude
