On a warmer day snap a straight line with a chalk line and use a pair of roofer snips to trim them. They look like big tin snips but are designed to trim shingles. A pair of big tin snips will work too. If you're careful you can get nice straight cuts. Those hang over entirely too much, and will crack and break in the near future if you don't trim them.
