It's not very hard. You can use a dry-erase marker to mark where you want to cut. Then use some aluminum or metal snippers to cut it.

Yeah, I did a little on mine last night. The left and right sides are no the same anyway, so just go a bit at a time. I have to go back and make another cut or two, but at least I didn't go to far the first time.

I also used sheet metal snips.

After making sure of your cuts to be made,accuracy mark as stated previously. I found that a recipricating (sp) saw works great( cuts it like butter, watch those fingers) and an orbital sander to smooth and round sharp edges.

Advantages are: Less weight. I know, not much, but every little bit helps. And, aeordynamics, and great looks if you do it right.
