Gauges installed in DIN Position.

I just installed 3 Gauges in a DIN Slot above my Radio, the problem is the Dash kit for my car will not clear the gauges and the dash kit needs some cutting. Here are some pictures to help clarify what I am speaking about. I have the dash kit and i've posted pictures of it set next to the gauges. What is the best way to cut plastic, anyone on the board do custom plastic work? What does everyone think?

Haha I have already removed the stickers, I was toying around with the idea of putting them on and had the multiple ones on to see if I liked them anywhere, ended up getting rid of them completely though.

Dremel is really the best tool. Good luck. I thought about putting some extra gauges....now I remember why I didn't do it.

Looks good. And thats the Scosche kit right? Dremel and a little sanding to smooth the edges and you should be good to go.
