Easy to do, don't have any pictures of process tho. I kinda just went with it lol. I used a jigsaw and just cut away, then hit the edges with some sandpaper to get rid of the rough edge. My advise would be, you can always just make the first cut wider and then shape them how you want. Here's mine. Search around, there are plenty of step by step write ups and youtube videos.

I've done it many times. Easy peasy! Just tape your lines and take your time! (Rhyme?). Then throw some door edge guard on the edges and all it a day. Of course sand them down first and use some degreaser or denatured alcohol on them before sticking or else they will come off quickly.

You live in Texas where the summers are hot, so take your time with the initial cuts and use various grades of sandpaper to get your lines perfect. By doing this, you will not need to cover the finished edges with a self-aheasive door trim that will fall off when the hot sun hits it. I used an 18 dollar pneumatic jigsaw I bought at Harbor Freight, and yellow electrical tape to trace my lines (much more flexible than blue painters tape). If you don't rush, the end result will be a factory finished edge you can be proud of.
