Lots of patience.  It took me about 45 minutes to finish the cuts.  I used a sharpie marker and drew out my lines and made sure thats what I wanted.  Then I used a utility knife and went over the lines a few times and then started to cut very slowly.

Came out great.  Good luck.

A dremel with the cutoff wheels works very good, thats how i did mine. I used a utility knife on my friends banshee and that worked, just took alot of time.
