Alright, I have installed by Profec A where my ashtry goes by cutting a whole in ABS plastic (the stuff that make Stereo DIN's out of) and it took a long ass time. I am going to do it again today better, but I am wondering...How is the best way to cut that stuff? Thanks

actually i think it would be a good idea to clarify a few things when cutting abs plastic. if you use a dremel, use the carbon fiber cut off wheel that goes in it. for the rotozip, the cutting bit. using a jig saw isn't a very good idea on abs due to the blade heating up and melting the plastic slightly making it very difficult to cut. also a circular saw or table saw works pretty good for long cuts. if you're cutting round holes use a hole saw.
