you don't have to cut that much, but it doesn't hurt to do so.

I'll find pics when i get home, but i only took about half an inch in width, and an inch in height from the top corners on each side and had no issues, just cut the corners out to smooth things down and was good to go...

 

SWEET! yea im about 2 get it painted here next week, im gonna have them shave the front emblem and the bumper plugs to give it a nice smooth look i think..

thanks again for all the great info guys!!! and keep it coming!! im still a noob to all this!
