OK - Xacto Razor's are now winning - might have to change my mind. I need to cut out AROUND the A/C hole for the 359 look - was thinking the string might be easier as it would follow the groove - but may just bite the bullet and try the razor. Thanks for all the input!

I meant razor saw. I got a whole kit and it came with a "keyhole"saw that works great for "micro" cutting. I never cut out the breather sections that stay on the hood but this should do the trick!

I've tried sewing thread and x-acto razor saws and I am definitely most comfortable with the razor saw. There's more control, especially when cutting a straight line. Can't comment for cutting out the A/C section of the hood, but for everything else, a fine razor saw works a treat for me.
