From your pictures, it looks like your front strut is entirely new and one piece straight form Koni with the matching yellow paint. So is your front suspension new or insert with stock strut and painted to match the yellow Koni insert? Thanks.
You are correct, all the modification to the front strut housing is still needed.

I used a spare set of stock Showa housings and had them powder coated after the modification process. The place I got them powder coated at matched the color very well.

Thanks.
