Hey folks,  I have a piece of finished carbon fiber I would like to trim a bit.  Of course I have a dremel so I am thinking that would be easiest but I thought I would ask some advice before attempting to destroy a clear coated $50.00 piece.

Thanks!

I used a cutting wheel for the straight sections and a cutter (?) for the round corners.

Smooth and careful sanding afterwards will (did for me anyway) leave the edges clean and the surface undamaged.

Nice job on that side cover!

Thanks DP will do, I had figured it was a must as I used to play with fiberglass once in a while.  Bet CF is worse.
