I plan on doing this as soon as I get mine. A trip to Home Depot and 1-2 hours should suffice! Any tips on cutting out that portion?
The little insert was a bitch to get out! you can't just pop it out from the back side. It is secured in the little space with double sided tape so you have to pry up an end section and grab on to it with some needle nose pliers and just pull it off, at least that is how I did it. Once it's removed I just scored the inner section a couple of times with my exacto-knife and cut it out. I took my time cutting it to make sure it was as perfect as possible. As long as you have a good razor style knife it is pretty easy. Just take your time and don't rush it.
