What I have done in the past is whack it off to the correct height with a Dremel and then used super fine sand paper to shape the top and get the little burs off. It doesn't come out perfect, persay, but when you flip it and shit they will get ground up anyway, and it looks pretty good IMO.

i have one in red just need to finish cutting the wheel wells out
see I had problems cutting shit out...everyone said use Lexan scissors so I tried those but found it easy as hell to take one soft outline with a x-acto knife (not even going through) and then fold out the pieces cuz they break off eazy and clean.

I wanted an RSX but couldn't find any and I really didnt want to order it off the internet.

Well the 510 body I would have to order off the internet because it is uber rare, aparently, and only fits one chassis. QD was actually the one that found it for me.
