Is this the top trim cover? If so, its on poppers and you just pull..

Fitted mine on Monday, took a bit of raking about to see where it went.

Someone put alot of thought into the design :nod:

you don't actually have to cut it, just fold it back until you have enough room to fit the strut brace in... thats what i did, and it looks factory as there is minimal room between the carpet and the strut ends :)

Not much, but i'd say the rear is a little tighter, would notice it more with harder cornering, which i havent done much of yet.

ah some time it you gotta fit something long i would fold down the seat and side it thru, so no strut bar there would be handy.

ive seen the rear struct on the top before and it does look nice too.
think apex performance do one on top but its for the s14, but should fit too.
