The Struggle

You'll need rubber cement, a piece of cardboard, scissors, a nail file (medium grit), and exacto knife.

First, make a template. I made this one on my computer, but you could use a ruler etc to make one too.I made the whole thing about the same width as my license ( 2.1 inches), and about double the length so I could pull it out easily (mine is 4inches). The inner rectangle is the same dimensions as the clear window, so I can line up the cut-out easily, and the oval in the middle is 0.75"w x 1.5"h). After cutting out the whole thing, I rubber cemented it to the cardboard so I can easily get it in/out of the slot.

Use the exacto knife to carefully score the window, following the template. Go slowly, and be careful when doing the curves. After you go around once, go around again with a little more pressure - the plastic should cut easily.
