Mines already been shaved to heck so you could chop and modify it to whatever you want.

If you're set on modifying what you have, I found the best thing to remove material fast was a razor sharp spokes plane
Then I used a rasp to get to the final stage and for finishing, I used a blow torch to lightly melt all the fine plastic fibers.

Its still ugly but it worked so much better than the original stock.
Ive also seen them primed, sanded and then painted and they can look perfectly fine.

I'm travelling Nelson to Picton Thursday and Friday this week and could collect for @Vanman. If he didn't want it, I wouldn't mind trialling it for my 15yr old.
