With the JDM trim, i thought i read that there is some slight cutting needed for radio to fit thru opening, is this true.

Nope, no trimming of the JDM trim.

The universal trim ring does require trimming, but it's slight. A pair of scissors will do a fine job. The motorized face of the Z120 requires that you account for the movement when trimming the trim ring. I never got around to doing it on my Z110 before I had to go back to the desert, so I can't offer you a lot of help on the details of that. It's ok without the trim, but there's a bit of a gap that can be unsightly if you look closely, but most people won't notice it.
