What is the best way to cut interior trim peices?

I've done this, but it can be rough if you dont take it veryyyy slow...

Score it with an xacto knife, then take a soldering iron and melt it....if your careful you can get it perfect. just my $.02 good luck!

It was actually easier than I thought it would be. I just scored where I wanted to cut with the razor, and then put the razor straight through the plastic. With a small amount of saw like action, it cut through the plastic like butter.
