NSX Caliper swap: final questions...

Last few questions regarding this swap:

For those of you who've done this swap, what did you do about your dust shield? I've seen/read where it's been removed, and also where it's simply been trimmed, any insight?

I didn't get any pad shims with my NSX calipers, but I'm guessing I'll still need the usual pad shims even though I have to use a 5mm backing plate/shim to correct for the width difference between the nsx and prelude rotors, right? And since the pads are the same size, I can just use Prelude pad shims, correct?

Removing it is ok imo, the dust shield traps in alot of heat on track and under hard braking

If you drive normally then just bend it, personally I've been without mine for ages and the car is fine
