you have to cut a hole for it to fit. Not all the way though.

Been there done that.... a bagillaion useless treads show up... only part ive seen cut is the hood for the powersteering, dont care about that. Im talking about the little rod thats used to hold up your hood. did anyone else have a problem with this? or is i just cause i got a K20A enstead of and A2

You can't use this parts anymore... I just remove it and put in the trunk ( I place it when I need it)... the RSX one gonna fit well

So post your question in the SWAP FAQ next time, the answer gonna be more usefull here....
