I found this whatever it is in my garage cause i wanted to make holes in myy body for the sabage before i put it on, and i wanted to put it on cause I've been using it without the body. I would usually use a hobby knife or plastic cutter on my dremel bu the holes always come out really crappy. So i was thinking of using a car ciggarett lighter but i could find the one in the car so i came up with this. I found this in the garage and got a butane torch and evenly heated it up and popped out the holes. Heres the meatal thingy.

Looks pretty good. Now you should clean those edges up with your X-Acto knife.
 
the best thing for cutting holes is a dremel. you wil get perfect holes. better then with a reamer
 
That looks like it works pretty dang good for you there Domination.

What I do is trace something to make a perfect circle, then cut it out with the Dremmel. One one of my maxx bodies, I carved out a flame pattern for the window vent...it was pretty cool!
 
yea i can't cut circles with a hobby knife or dremel they come out all crappy and wavy and stuff i guess i dont have a steady hand.

Can you post a pic of that?
 
May sound wacky, but I traced out the oval lid from a deoderant stick on my XXXNT winshield... Came out fancy...
