Default Beware! **pics added**

Just prefitted Rksport grill insert on my car & AM NOT happy. Poor fitment at best, 1/2 inch gap around top, can still see factory grill holes......just slightly pissed. Awaiting response from LMP, ill be willing to try a second one, if it fits anywhere near like this one ill be be done! Anyone else have any experience with these inserts??

Notice the gaps, especially at top.......

Damn! And I was bummed when my 3M tape stuck before it was in place on my Wings West and left a small gap showing the edge of the tape. Hope the new one is better.

On a side note what makes you think Wings West isn't around? I purchased mine in Feb got it a 4days later, had it painted and put it on last week. Ordered right from Wings West website. Pics in this section a few posts down.
