I believe my upper control arm is smacking at the top over bumps, what options do I have to fix that other than raising the vehicle? can I cut out that area?

yes you can can cut a hole in the strut tower. you can also shorten your spindles. this requires a custom weld job. while you’re at it, you can have the spindles tilted which will increase negative camber. One place i know that does it is low life projects. the easiest thing is to raise the car but if you want to go further into stance those are your options
My TSX does this too 😂 you can actually see the top of the fender well with a bulge where it keeps hitting. My idea is cutting and welding for more clearance. Check out Gears and Gasolines video. It was done to Bens hatch.
