G'day Callan,

You wont have to cut the steel heat shield but you will have to notch the rubber seal which runs around the top. You may find that the rubber seal can squeeze between the strut tower brace and heat shield but some careful trimming with a Stanley knife will make the install look very nice indeed .

Cheers
Darrin
