From searching I've seen people both cut the shields, or just remove them completely. I personally plan on just removing the things.

Ziggy, I'll keep posting up everything I find, in here. Hopefully it'll help.

On my local forum I'm keeping track of everything I've bought, from where, and how much I've paid. When I'm done I'll post all that over here if you'd like.

But I hear ya on trying to find the proper feedback. No one spot has all the info. I've probably spent a good 40hrs. researching the topic, all over the place. And am hoping to be able to get all the info in one spot. Then write up some sort of VFAQ so everyone can see the info in one spot from here on out.
