I'm sure you know this, but before you start trimming be sure to wear protection for your skin and lungs!

yes i agree, i think i can make them narrower, i dont care much for the open wheel look , thans again for your imput

But note that I've never worked with turbos, so I don't know how the heat they produce will effect the fiberglass, or if it will even be an issue. Good luck, and have fun!
