strut brace

All the pictures for the front upper strut brace I can find show it without the plastic cover which goes over that area and around the wiper mechanism, will it not fit with the brace in place or has know one taken a photo?
 
The plastic scuttle panel cover fits perfectly over the Ultra Racing brace. Not got any pictures unfortunately.

Well I know the scuttle panel needs to come off if that's why you posted them pics but I meant is there anything I need to take off the strut tops themselves or do I just remove two of the 3 nuts then position the brace and screw those nuts back on? I think it gives you fitting nuts and washers with the brace but I wasn't sure if I actually need to use them or not
