Can these be removed without cutting?

The metal pieces, no. The plastic pieces, yes.

Yeah I just realized there was metal behind it. Any structural integrity lost with cutting them?

My guess is that they are part of the uni-body, not something I would mess with.

Alright, then how do you guys typically get your boxes in? Or what width do you have them?

******IN MY OPINION****** I would think you'd be fine if you cut out part of the flat section if you get a the strut bars, mosre specifically the rear strut bar, it will help to stiffen the car

I cut mine out about three years ago without a strut bar and i have had zero problems since. Granted ive gotten about 800 pounds of audio in there and im not out cutting an autocross track up but ive had zero issues.

I had to cut that out to fit my box in there as well. No problems.

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

i doubt you'd see any problems until you go into an accident that you were hit from the side. i'd think the strut bar would take the grunt of what you cut out. but im no an enginner so im just guessing.

the widest I go on my boxes is 34", you only have 35" between the trunk support arms for the box to slide into.
