I used masking tape to mark where I wanted to cut so you know it is strait.

i taped off the lines i wanted to cut and then just used a box knife/razor blade. it is a little slower than power tools, but it wasnt messy and i could cut it exactly where i wanted. only takes a few passes, doesnt take that long.

Anyone ever used a soldering iron with a knife tip?

A hot razor blade does wonders as well.

i marked it with tape and used a dremmel multi tool, the first time i used a hack saw blade. then i sanded down the edges, then took a propane torch and went over the sanded edge to make it look factory.

i like the torch idea for the final touch

im going to cut my rear before this season, the torch works well on the rough edges!
