Rear strut tower on my DA

[bonspeed]

hey guys, my buddy gave me his rear strut tower from his EG because he's going to claim the car to the insurance.. I test fitted it to my DA and it turns out that I have to cut some portion of the panels, is there a bracket specifically for the DA? I know I can just take off the panels to avoid cutting them but I can't do that at this time because my mom and dad and my sis also rides with me...

only cutting or removing panel, no other way.

cutting should be minimal, i cut a small portion of the opening for the bar to fit, I'm running a Meagan racing Bar.

sorry the pic is so blurry, but you can see where i trimmed, in order to fit the strut bar. It was really minimal, depending on the bar you may have to cut more or less.

thanks for sharing the pic., I see it's very minimal another reason why I don't want to cut the panel is so i can still put back the cover if I decided to take off the strut, but based on your pic it's very minimal and I can still put the cover back incase... btw, I think the strut tower that my buddy gave me is like the ebay ones...
