I received it on Wednesday, super fast shipping and very, very well packaged!

My baby is at the interior shop right now and I should have it back this Monday.

I'll install the hood pad and post up some pics.

Thank you Mark, for the excellent customer service and fast shipping!

I would buy one if they wouldnt rub, My up pipe rubs on my stock pad a little bit. Feedback will determine if I buy one going forward.

I bought one back in June. Very nice piece, but I've had issues with one or two stock retainers popping out with the skin in place (I did shave the ridge off of the stock retainers to make them sit flush). Maybe a slightly longer retainer would work better. With stock size piping and plenum there shouldn't be any clearance issues. I have 3in intercooler pipes and 72mm GN1 plenum/TB and it does rub on a spot the size of a dime (above the "C") vs the size of a baseball on the stock pad.

Try using 1/4" rivet style retainers. I also added a 10th hole between the two middle holes. Helped to eliminate the rubbing along with a adjusting the up pipe.

Those fasteners look to be much nicer than the original type.
