I used a sheet metal nibbler when I installed one in my old VW. Worked fine and did not distort the sheet metal.

Yeah, I read about that guy too. He had to buy a bigger sunroof. Ouch! Yeah, this is my biggest mod yet, so I'm for sure going to measure many many times before I cut. And of course there will be a writeup.

we used a die-grinder w/ a cut-off wheel on it. Angled the cuts for the corners then grinded them round... Took about 30mins to cut the whole thing. Used a big knife to cut the headliner.
