I cut the bumper using a sharp utility knife. That was the scariest part of the project. I considered using a Dremel style tool but was worried that the heat of the bit would melt the plastic at the edge of the cut. I don't know how hot the bits get.
The cap that comes with the kit covers the hole. It looks and works exactly like the ones that come standard from BMW. I did have to paint the caps. I bought the paint at an automotive paint shop in town.
