Default 99-00 Civic Hatch

Hey guys I just had a quick newbie question.

You know when you install rear strut bars, the plastic interior quarter panels are blocking the way to bolt it up.

Do you guys cut around it to keep the panels or just take them off completely?

Thanks.

I think the Mugen template would work best on this , perfect size for the hole. Can somebody post pics and dimensions of it? I had it on my old computer but the template was in Japanese, oversized, and it didn't look like a rectangular cut-out at all

See that looks really clean. I like the cutting idea... even though i always have to think twice about it before i actually do it, in the end the cutting usually looks best... cut it and then use some VERY fine grit sandpaper to get around the edges to smooth it out. make it look like it was meant to do that

The difference between your EG and my EK is the fact that you have a removable plastic piece.

I don't its just a big piece...
