you can cut the center with a hot blade just becareful, saves u time from sawin it off and then sand it abit =)

a hot blade?

[Dy_]

yeah using a blade might be easier. just cut it carefully. so that the lines are straight and not all bumpy etc so that you have to sand it. blade will save you time.

heating up the blade may help

[Jord]

u mean like a stanley knife blade?

[Dy_]

i used a swiss pocket knife for mine..didnt heat it up either.

i done my 96 i cut out all the centre but the back edge looked crap so i cut the back edge off mine till it was all flush

i just took like 1cm of the top and bottom and then matched the lines for the edges by using tape

i put the tape so it was coming off at the same angle as the top edge then wraped it around till it met the top edge the i cut that line
