cutting carbon Fiber

You need a high speed cutting wheel. they are thin and typically used for cutting metal. They run between 10-14K rpms and you can get them at any hardware. Be careful of any lose carbon fiber since its so narrow and stiff you could get stuck pretty easy.

I used a dremel to cut mine.It is easy to do,just takes time to get the right cut around the plenum.then used sandpaper to finish it off.
