2. The Master Cylinder cover needs to be trimmed back some in the back right corner.. approx. 1/4" to avoid contact with the hood bracket.

Thats sucks about the fit... I was about to order the CF.

So did the fitment issues get addressed with the V2 items? I was about to pull the trigger before I looked at this thread. I have them sitting in my cart just waiting...........

Well when I saw this kit being offered to dress up my engine bay, I jumped on it because I like the CF look. I received the the parts purchased and was very dissapointed with the lack of quality. The parts were sratched in places, the gel coat was bubbeled and uneven on all parts and I decided that they were not usable so am sending them back to the vendor.

To JDM: You have an excellent idea but the execution of the idea is lacking. I would suggest that you implement a quality control program and a series of quality control checks for the manufacture of your products and I guarantee your business will grow instead of folks having to return your products back to you.
