When i cut my plastic i used a dremmel with a grinder tip on it and it worked great. The only problem was it melted the plastic. So u have to sand it afterwards.

razor blade. exacto knife. then sand it down to the finish you want. those are less likely to get wild and crazy lines if you slip.

After you finish with whatever you choose to use, sand the edges with a heavy grit sand paper, then a fine grit and hit it with a heat gun when you're done. It gives a really nice factory look.
