    The manual instructs you to place masking tape along the scribe line.
    The first photo reflects the almost imperceivable mark. I am not certain that this is the mark because it seems to be an incidental line of material ( the white stuff that is the outer surface of the fiberglass ) that is remaining from the manufacture process. The second pic is the tape placed on that faint marking. Does this sound or look familiar? I also am not understanding why I am only removing the top surface. Have I just not read far enough to see when I remove the bottom surface?

    This looks correct Eddie some of the gel coat and around the lights needs to be sanded, superfilled and sanded. Those lines are for reference, I found that you won't follow them to a tee.

    Rough cut down to the line with an angle grinder than sand for a straight line.

    You do the bottom after the top. You can do it at the same time in my experience. They say to do it one at a time so your tips don't angle down or up but you can adjust that after.

    As long as is trimmed to satisfy you aestheticly, you're all good.
