You will have to cut out holes in the trunk area first before you can test fit your body. This is a great place to get the feel of how to cut and shape the fiberglass in an area that is not as critical as the side-pipe cut outs.

When I cut the holes in the trunk area to accomodate the bumper mounts on the frame I put a fine tooth metal cutting blade in my saw. Mistake! I could not finish one hole! The fiberglass dulled the blade in no time, the teeth that were originally sharp and pointed very quicklu were rounded off!

Hence the ceramic tile/glass cutting blade.

The dust is nasty, very fine, and made my skin itch, something else to consider, take precautions.

Regards,
