Um... those things are like 22" diameter or bigger sometimes... that would be a LOT of wasted trimmings. You'd have small pieces that you could use for grille blocks and such though, and the plastic itself is quite flexible, and could be used for aero mods, like fairing in your mirrors and such, where it wouldn't be completely hideous. Plus, it's paintable.
