What to use to cut FRC?

What did you guys use to cut the FRC's to fit. Its pretty thick to cut with a knife. Some one recomended using tin snips but i dunno how good of an idea that sounds like either. I have a commpressor and a cut off wheel. Would this be the best why to go? Im ready to get these suckers on and clean up the engine bay!
TIA, justin

Dremmel is the only way to go.

Dremel. I suggest using a lower rpm setting though. The high rpm tends to melt the plastic instead of cut it.
