Took just under 2 weeks to receive the kit I believe.
The good: the paint match looks really good (silverstone). And the flush version 2 plug looks great installed. You can barely see it from several feet away.
The bad: the version 2 plug is "secured" with 2 pieces of double sided tape in an "x" pattern on the underside of the hatch. I was skeptical of it's water resistance. And for good reason. Even though I made sure the seal was as good as it was gonna get, when I washed the car several days later I found water dripping through the tape. Within days, the side of the plug was rusty and was eating away at the paint. When I removed the plug, the entire underneath was rusted to hell.
Another "bad" was the top/squirter plug. They use the same type of plug here, but it is "glued" to a threaded piece to secure it. The plug itself did not sit flat on the glass, and one side always wanted to sink into the hole slightly. No matter how carefully I tried, because of the uneven "glue" used underneath, one side would sink in as I tried to secure it. And each time, some of the paint would chip off.
I emailed the place a couple weeks ago and still haven't heard a response.

EDITED: I contacted them with my concern, and they are sending me a replacement.

Poor design. I probably spent over 5 hours trying to get the squirter plug to sit flush and it never even came close. Water could have easily came through the gaps. I put the original back in. With the wiper plug, it never sealed properly. I used a good amount of silicone around and under the plug and laughable tape but water still gets in somehow. I haven't put the hatch back together because I was told he would send me version 1 so I could swap the v2 out. That was 3+ weeks ago and he doesn't respond to pm's or sent me the v1 kit.
