Yeah the instructions aren't too clear on how far to cut up, but in the end it doesnt matter...as long as you cut below the black trim a few inches it cant be seen. The top lip of the bumper is flush with the bottom lip of the black trim.

I added a piece of rubber trim (3/16"thick) above where i cut on the body so there wouldn't be any vibration...not sure if it is really necessary but the quarter panels are kinda flimsy.

And you will end up being able to see the holes that the corner plastic pieces went into. I picked up some plastic plugs down at ACE to fill them (my truck is black so they matched right off the bat)

Get someone to help for sure!

Good luck with your install!
