Default cut out guides for EK hatch rear interior?

are there any cut out guides for an EK hatch for cutting holes in the rear plastic interior pieces for a rear strut bar or easier access to the struts?

Go off of pictures you can pick up on this site or others like, JDMCivic.com. Id post a pic but dont have a host for my pictures. Its real easy to look at a picture and then cut a nice circle hole or rectangle.

I've heard of people taking a few screws out just to lift the panel up alittle and then they put the strut bar there and put pressure on the panel to see where to cut the hole. I think if you buy mugen strut bars they come with a little rubber piece to put around the edge of the hole... that's what I've heard from different forums anyways.

on my ek... i just took out the screws that hold the panels in... looked behind to see the general area that i would cut a little box out of the panel. After cutting the box out.. i took some vacum hose and sliced it in the middle.. and wrapped it around the edge of the box. It basically looks like a rubber lining.. looks very good and clean.
