Default Cut New Grille Anyone??

I just got an SES Mesh Grille for my LS460, The problem is my car has DCC/PCS so the emblem is bigger than the regular LS460. Anyone know who can cut the metal around the SES Grill so that it will fit? It is a bolt on grille that goes over the stock one.

Here is a pic of it, The center is to small to fit over the emblem, Any suggestions would be great.

I used to have an in-house machine shop at my old work. It was pretty convenient; I had the guys do a couple side fab projects for me. Sounds like you might have to find something similar....a tool and die shop. I have a dremel if you need it? How much needs to be trimmed off?

The majority of the metal ring needs to be cut, about a half inch all around. I'm terrible with anything mechanical, Will a dremel do the job?

It should, I'm just worried about the structural integrity if you cut away too much of the ring. I can take a look at it if you want and give you my opinion....
