Tons and tons of times, noithing new.

At least take the time, and do it correctly, make it look good.

I have seen far to many people that just cut and go.

I have seen a grinder used.

Trying a google it, and see what you can come up with, at least some pics to see what others do.

I think 98civdx is thinking you want to cut out a portion of your strut towers... I'd look into a rubber cap, personally.

Check out VW's. They have covers. I've never looked at them up close, so I have no idea how they work, but the Mk 4 VW Jetta and Golf have them.
