if my memory serves me correctly, you don't "cut" them off... It's better for your to "sand" them off... because it's only the two little tabs sticking out that you need to smooth out.

I think you were the one that said your friend screwed it up by cutting (1). thx for da info, I cut (2) with a hot knife and it fits perfectly. I cant believe how much of an improvement the 02' is.
