Yes, you will need to cut it. Just enought to stick the tower end out.

Easy install for sure. I went with the 40.

As far as the tower covers go - I thought I was going to do a series of fancy, narrow, angled cuts to fit snugly around the mounts where they passed through the cover, but that idea went out the window real fast once I tried lining everything up. I ended up with a clean box-square cut that the mount passes through. Looks fine from the driver's seat! I also had to remove the inner black-plastic covers that topped the mounts to get the covers to stay on too. Loktite on the nuts for sure.

cheers, chrx
