The first ten have been shipped. That will include everyone that used paypal for payment except 97 CAIVIAROSS and the international order. I am once again waiting on more screws, thanks for your patience in advance. Hopefully everyone should receive theirs by Saturday. They were shipped USPS priority. Thanks, Lee

Yes, payment is fine. I'm just wanting to send the best quality and best looking screw for this application. The first box I received was a qty. of 50 which took care of the first ten orders. Thanks, Lee

Thanks to everyone who has ordered the covers. As of now the price is still $35.00 plus shipping. Place your order or let me know if you want one. I am working on another batch to ship and making some extras. Thanks, Lee

OK... I installed my panel and overall I am very pleased with it. Great work

My issues....
First off my panel wasn't bent far enough to fill the gap along the grill but it was an easy fix with a heat gun and patience. In the pic it looks really gray but I assure you that it isn't. The rough texture reflects the light when taking pics.

Second issue is that the notch for the hood release cable wasn't in the correct spot but it works. I tried moving it over but then it didn't fit between the mounting area of the grill. (when you install one you'll see what I mean)

Third thing I encountered isn't really an issue, just a personal preference. When installing it there are gaps along the top at both ends and at the center support along the top. Personally I didn't care for this so I opted to place it behind the support (see pic) I had to notch the panel in a few areas for a completely flush fit but it was definately worth it.

Again, I am very happy with the final result and no panel would be perfect for everyone. These are the mods I made to my panel and thought I share them with everyone for reference.

This is a great way to clean up the area and possibly be functional as well. It seems that the air will be pushed through the radiator a little more efficiently helping to cool things down a bit.

Jon, Thanks for the pics. I made these to be as simple to install by everyone but this material is very easy to work with like you mentioned. You took a custom piece and made it more custom. Looks great. Thanks, Lee

No problem, I'll give credit where it's due.
If you are skilled at working with this stuff I just may have you make some other pieces for me as well. Keep in touch, I have some big plans for this winter and will need something.(I was going to custom fiberglass the areas) this may be a better option... we'll see.

Jon, I have a good supply of the abs now and have access to 50"x144" sheets. Just let me know if I can help, Lee.
