I used a utility knife with new blade to cut mine. Used a metal straight edge as a guide, no problem to do angles too.

I would recommend buying the roll of trim instead of precut. You will have plenty left over which is good if you need remove a crooked piece and/or redo a piece.

Yeah I have to use a roll as precut is when you have gas tank doors and mine are both gone and smoothed over .

They make a special tool for cutting the beveled edges too.. maybe buy one maybe not ??

I dont think you need that tool to cut, trim is cut easily with sharp utility knife.

Check out this video by Kevin Tetz with LMC, it helped me a lot.

This install is not that hard, dont be intimidated. Take your time on the first few pieces, you will do just fine.

3M trim tape will do it. Auto paint place or maybe even big-box hardware stores.
