I live in caveman days. Razor blade and a hand twist drill.

Sometimes a power drill and Drexel is used.

I use a fresh/sharp hobby knife to score my lexan bodies first and then snap/peel the lexan to make 95% of my cuts, I only go back and use curved lexan scissors to get into tight corners that can't easily be bent/snapped, I never use straight tip scissors.

Any brand of curved lexan scissors will do perfectly fine... I also use the curved scissor to trim the beads of my tires before mounting them

All good .. my Dremel is my best friend when it comes to getting any jagged edging smooth.

These work pretty good, actually really good in fender wells. Had em few weeks & done couple covers so far. Curved lexan scissors aren't good. I trimmed almost perfectly, then some 180g s-paper.

I also use regular 8" super sharp craft scissors & hobby knife too.

I use a cheapo hobbypark set on Amazon. Might be why I have horrible scissorcutting skills

Watch out for the cheap Chinese "curved" lexan scissors. Most of them aren't even curved. They just have the tip bent over. I bought a set after noticing that in the pics and figured maybe it just wasn't a good pic. Nope. They are indeed just straight scissors with a bent tip.

Yup. Those.

Just look and you can see this is definitely not a curve. JUNK!
