Hey!
I did just the same thing! My NrTs were bought used, and I then bought the upgrade kit. It's easy to install and totally worth it

CURRENT SETUP:
JRiver MC and PS3 -> Onkyo TX-SR705 via HDMI -> Sierra-2 LCR & Energy Take Classic surrounds and sub
=============================================
This just sounds so sexy....lol
I have the older Sierra1 cabinets myself, I know cuz I've been in there, and saw the black mesh.....don't ask why, it's a secret....to everyone but my neighbors...and my bloodied nephew!
I don't foresee an issue if I do this though, I have tools and some skillz.
Still lovin' my Original Sierras though, just busted them out after a 2 year hiatus, and they sound fabulous, so this will have to wait!
I started with some sandpaper by hand, then switched to one of these: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Proxxon-1...8985/203459839
The wheel actually created a taper of the opening so the woofer flange fit in the top of the opening but not all the way down. I ended up carving out the remainder with a utility knife. Not the best way to do it but I was impatient and aggravated so nothing was going to stop me. The wheel was the culprit for the scuffs, or maybe it was my inability to control it!
I used a hand drill, but if you have a drill press you could simply set the depth and move the cabinet around the wheel. Should be able to control the motion better that way.
Edit: The wheel I linked to is similar to the one I meant to reference, which is used with a rotary drill.

I used a Dremel with the sandpaper disk, worked really great. I just followed around the woofer opening without much pressure and it only took a few minutes per cabinet.

There you go! I do not own a Dremel(Darn pricey little attachments), but if you have one already it sounds like a no brainer.
Jeff, I just realized I brought my -2's over your place in October. Sheesh....time flies!
