the only thing you have to cut is a little slot for the throttle linkage.....and thats it....dont listen to any of those adds....they want you to cut the **** outta your frc's.....mine took 1 minute and i was done.......

Get a dremel, cut a little, test fit, cut a little more, test fit, cut a little more, test fit... Should take about 20 min. My covers fit my V great.

This is what i cut on mine. Every car is different tho. If you don't have your AIR system you don't need to cut that much. just the passenger side frc for the dip stick, throttle body linkage and thats about it. Just cut test fit cut test fit etc.. Its really not that hard.
