Yep, another installed Christmas present (watch this space for hood and trunk lift reviews next!) that I put on yesterday.
The piece is well packaged, and I only really found a couple flaws with it.
1: it doesn't come with ricer stickers to put on it.
2: They don't include enough washers in the kit.
3: You're required to use washers instead of a spacer to level the front of the piece.
4: Their instructions require relocating the airbag sensor, which is fine... except that they reccomend placing the airbag sensor under the leading edge of the airbox.
I like how the installed piece looks, and it's worth having, but I think that it needed
-a spacer instead of washers underthe cowl. 4 loose pieces balanced on a bolthole is doable, but annoying, and I know I'll lose some the first time it comes off.
-3 more washers for between the boltheads and the nice shiny cowl so you don't scratch it.
-if the washers stay, there needs to be two more underneath to space the plate more evenly. Right now mine gets distortions in the reflection from the bolts tugging it down. I had enough washers to cover the top, but not to add more to the bottom. It's too shiny to have it distort, i'd never notice it on a painted piece though.
All in all, not bad. Very light. I like it.
