You never said where you were planning on putting the 8's so yes, serious modification will be required

If you're planning on replacing the two 6.5" speakers in the rear shelf area, you'll need to modify the metal framework to fit an 8.0" speaker. You should also consult the FSM, as you'll need to pull all the rear plastic interior panels to get to that area.

Then with subs you either need to find IB subs or fiberglass in the area in order to get them to function well sealed.

I made a box and installed a shallow mount 12" behind the drivers seat that just sits in the cubby where the stock bose sub used to be. It cost me around $60 with the subwoofer
