I have used sheet metal shears on both plastic and fiberglass cowlings. A rotary cutter also works. Files and sandpaper finished it up.

Cowl Cutting
what i like to use is a dremel with a small rotary cut off saw. cuts good through fiberglass and carbon fiber. then just finish up with some fine sand paper and your done.
