They're pretty tight.....I think you may need to remove some material for it to work. One of mine fit ok, but the passenger side one cracked when I put it on.

Just be careful when you put them back and remove material as needed.

Wanted to get a consensus on this before ordering one...is it confirmed that a Cusco carbon fiber rear tower bar will not require cutting/modification of the stock panels?

Worst case you'd have to cut into the 2 top caps to make it fit. If you're really paranoid about it get a used set and cut those up. They are a dime a dozen.

Confirmed. Installed one on a cherry low-mile CYM not long ago and it was plug-n-play
