So after 4 long months the jeep has graduated from being a soccer moms grocery getter and is now worthy of its first pic post.

I marked my lines off with electrical tape and then followed the edge with a dremel cutoff wheel on the lowest speed. If you go higher, it just melts the plastic. I would go half way through in about 6 inch sections to make the line nice and straight, then i would go back and finish the cut through. There was a section on each side where the wheel was too small to go through. i used a sawzall metal blade and my hand to cut through. I kept the cut further from the finished line because it was a rough cut. When it was all off, i went back in with the dremel sanding wheel to clean up the edges. I'm thinking i should co back in and clear coat the edge and polish it out before the factory clear starts peeling up from that point.
