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.
