yes, cut off the portion "above" the plastic collar and use that part only. you can always save the part you cut off and re-install later if you go back to stock and so desire.

Yes, you should cut the bumpstop. On any car, if you lower it.

ah well did it anyway......took me 4 hours....too much blood a little sweat and a few tears of fury. I am not touching those things for a very very long time. Looks amazing.....but not touching them for a long time. Pictures when the anger of the install fades.....

I didn't think it was a bad install, and I'm hardly a mechanic.

yup took the wiper piece off. Real problem was the nuts on top of the strut underneath the wiper piece. Took forever to get an angled wrench that would work. Just a lot of slips and knicks and cuts
