Idiomatically, including second person plural & singular:
- Somos peligrosos, no te metas con nosotros.
- Somos peligrosos, no se metan con nosotros.
Use the former if you want to sound rude. The latter if you want to sound less rude.
There are many translations for mess with: hacer enojar, fastidiar, molestar, etc.
The thing is that phrasal verbs need to be adapted to using them for an idiomatic way in spanish. In this case with is literally translated to con, just because to make the expression idiomatic.
Welcome to the forum. Can you add to your profile your level of English [advanced/fluent would be my guess] and Spanish level intermediate/beginner? It is just a guide. If English is your native language you are fluent as far as one you are learning there is nothing to be gained by overestimating - it is just a guide. Eg if you said you were advanced you would expect answers in Spanish.
Is it just a slogan or are you writing a dialogue and is one of the gang shouting it at someone? Are you dealing with Spanish spoken in Spain or in Mexico/ Latin America? I only ask as you are talking about a colloquial expression. The majority of Spanish is the same the world over. It can help if on your profile you put the country where you are located. For example I am located in the UK use British expressions and though I have visited Mexico and Cuba I know more about Spain and expressions used there.
Here is a link to word reference a dictionary I use. wordreference
It looks like you can use fastidiar a or meterse but with word reference you can often get answers on individual phrases in the forum part at the bottom. Edit your question to clarify it and have a go at what you think the answer is then hopefully you will get a better response from native speakers as you will show you have made an effort.
