Tape it up and cut it off!..I used blue masking tape to draw the shape I wanted, cut it with a jig-saw and a fine tooth metal cutting blade.Pull the strut bolts, and two bolts from under the seat, disconnect the wiring harness from the locating tabs underneath, and cut away. You might consider taillights, license plate mount and light, and turn signals as part of the upgrade. I've got a few pics posted of what we did to our two. Both were easy once you get over the fear of the initial cut!
