Try a straight edge and a razor blade.

I would suggest a Dremel tool if you have one.

i would advise against that. cutting carbon fiber releases many fine particles and it can be bad for you if you inhale.

try to razor blade method first, and if u cant then resort to a dremel.

Then where a mask so the particles don't get inhaled. They only cost 3 for a dollar.
