Observations:

In my case, two shields were shipped and the box was beat up pretty badly. Fortunately, no damage to the shields was found. Be sure to inspect yours closely for any issues due to shipment.

Fitment is very good although I think the width of the slotted holes could be narrower and not have a negative impact on fitment. I imagine the size of the slots was intended to cover for as many variables as possible (front end collision repair for example).

The edges around the louvers on my shield had a bit of a sharp lip, so be careful when handling and installing. It's not a severe hazard, but if you don't treat the edges with a bit of caution, you could get snagged. An ounce of prevention.... :-)

The front bolt is a bit long. If you use the included retainer clip, the extra length of the front bolt makes it difficult to install and remove the splash shield. I'd recommend a shorter front bolt if the retainer clip is to be used. However, I ditched the retainer clip for the front bolt and had no problems with the installation.

Overall, it's an excellent product. And after installation I noticed my car got 30 mpg (at WOT), made 50 extra rwhp, and my 4th gear grind went away.*

(*note: individual results may vary. :-P)

Great work on this product Joe!
