how did you get yours modded? i would like to know if there is any local place that does it at a moderate cost... dont have any tools or skills to do the modding on my own

All it takes is a power drill with a hole saw along with a bit of patience. Just remember to measure twice, measure twice again, then cut once.

And don't forget to clamp the panel down. If you don't, you'll have a hell of a time getting a nice clean cut. Also, when you clamp it, put some cloth over the panel where you're clamping it to keep from scratching the finish.
