Buschur claimed that there was no cutting required, but they were only *slightly* lying. There's two tiny little triangles of plastic that wrap around the top corner of the stock intercooler that will need to come out. If you notice in the pics above, the bumper is not *completly* on yet, as I still have to do the cutting. Either way, I don't really care, as this FMIC is pretty huge: 24" x 11" x 3.5"
