Need tool to cut bumper beam

I need a little bit of help with cutting my bumper beam. I'm getting some custom fitment done and I need to cut a small portion of the corners of my front bumper beam in order for it to fit. I already tried a jigsaw and broke 2 blades.. lol. Does anyone have a tool that can cut easily through metal, and can help me cut?

try using a reciprocating saw. I've never cut a bumper beam with one, but it cut my upper heatshield like butter. its common for lowes, home depot, or other hardware stores that rent out tools to have these.

I forgot you can rent out tools from those places. I'll try a reciprocating saw. Thanks!
