can anyone here post a pic or dimensions of the mugen cut-out template? I like how clean the holes are, I don't want to risk eyeballing and ending up with a non-centered hole

well on that fake plastic crap carpet back there, there should be raised rounded parts on the carpet stuff. the strut mounts are directly under there. basically cut along the lines

96-00 hatches are totally different buddy. And different strut bars will require you to cut different shaped holes, some will be bigger then others.

well you can use windown edge molding and heat it up to make the edge look like OEM or any similar material like the one that comes with the OEM ITR rear strut bar
