12x24x3 fits perfect w/o cutting crash bar. I had to raise the coolant overflow a bit and lose some plastic splash shields. I'm sure you could go bigger if you wanted to.

I had a 32x12x3, left all the lower plastics and was even able to keep the plastic overflow tank in its stock position, and didnt cut anything. Just takes a bit of ingenuity and planning.
