Here you go. Drivers side doesn't need much. There are a couple brackets that attach under the fuel rail bolts that hold cables. I had to trim for them. When I took my intake off I didnt reinstall them.
Passenger side I trimmed off about the back 1/3.

OK after looking at your engine bay you shouldn't need to cut your Drivers side at all. As for the Passenger side you will have to cut a hole for the dip stick and take a little chunck out of the back more then i did for this big wire loom that goes back there and then finally you will have to cut for you throttle cable. You wont have to take out as much as i did for the throttle cable tho since you only have one cable not too like me bc i don't have traction control. It really not that hard tho to test fit and cut and test fit and cut thats how i did it. Here are some pics i circled where you need to cut.
Here are some installed pics after i got them cut and before paint.

you can do fiberglass filler, sand that down, and then pay some metal glaze ove rthe top of it to fill in any pin holes, and that stuff sands down perfect! heck you may even be able to use metal glaze for the whole thing, not tooo sure, i did it the safe way!

I used a product called Evercoat Poly-Flex. It works great on plastics bc it will flex and not crack. It worked really good we had some where i work so i just borrowed some

there should be some clip holding that group of wires to the fuel rail (i think). break that bitch and ziptie it to somethin else. that group of wiring is sitting higher than the fuel rail, and not allowing the cover to snap to the rail because it hits the wires first.
