How can I cut this CPO to fit without ruining it!

Ok, so I picked up a free Neo Geo Goldie cab that had a cracked marquee, and a fairly trashed CPO. Looking around, I could only find one person that makes the Goldie CPO, and it is $110 which is too rich for my blood this time of year. I did find QuarterArcade selling B stocks of the red CPO for $35. It seemed like that was the same size, and would fit the Goldie. So I ordered it, and it sorta fits....

Problem is it hangs over the front just a bit. I think if I trim the black edge off, that it would be fine....problem is, I am not sure how to do it. I could score it, and snap it, but I am afraid of chipping the screen print. Any other options?

You don't. That CPO is made for another cab and is in fine shape. Sell that CPO and put the funds towards that proper $110 CP that you can't afford. No Frankenstein cab jobs. When it comes to cab aesthetics, as close as possible to OG status is far and away more desirable than solving a problem. Don't double down on a mistake with another one. Put it this way, you paid $0.00 for that cab as is. Just think of as this, you'll end up paying $110 for it. Still a fine price to pay for such a cab plus it will now have the proper CPO.

Yeah seriously, Don't fucking halfass an uncommon cab just because you don't have the scratch at the moment. Get it done right.

Jive, PM me. I'll take that CPO off your hands if we can agree on a price. Seriously though, you'll be much happier once it is done correctly.

And welcome to the forum!
