Haha, while it does look good dropped, it actually doesn't bother me. Since I drive it daily, I don't mind its current height so I don't have to slow to a crawl going over speed bumps, dips, driveways, etc.
Some of my buddies have cars that are so low that they literally have to go over bumps in a sideways V; and that's just ridiculous and silly to me, lol.

with an air saw (a saw operated by compress air), it is not too bad. you'll go through a few blades though. just very steady hands and some lubricating agent
it may be possible with a electrical reciprocating saw, but it would be extremely difficult and very dangerous.
when an air saw gets stuck or catches a snag, it just stop. when an electrical saw gets stuck, it'll jerk very violently. very high chance of scratching or damaging your fender and very difficult to cut smooth/acurate curves/corners.
on other option is a dremell: which is what johal used (i think). however, it takes A LOT of time and he went through 25 cutt-off discs. very steady hands also needed here...

Richard actually didn't even go through a blade. I think it was slightly bent at one point, but it was fine.
I think it probably just takes an experienced hand.
