the holes for the grommets appear small, should i be dremelling those to the proper size?

also, Z1, your inbox is too full for me to send you PM

EDIT: successfully enlarged the holes with a dremel

 

Thanx mate.... thank you for all your supports!!!!!

cheers,

richie

 

Thank you!

 

hey adam! just got mine in this morning! i'll be installing it when i get home.

 

Lucky me with a #3!

 

just put mine on...

the grommet holes are smaller than the oem, so you have to dremmel it open or go without. i went without.

the fitment wasn't great, felt like it was smaller and doesn't cover much of the plenum. oem covers some of the plenum.

overall, it still looks pretty good.

i'll post pics tomorrow.

I didn't use the grommets when I did test fits here, just popped it on and viola - but I guess if you are going to, then a simple drill or file to make the holes bigger is your best bet
As for it being smaller, maybe there are slight differences between OEM covers by production date?

I just did a measurement of my OEM cover (2004 model year, 2003 build date) to this one, and both measure 10.2 inches exactly from the front edge of the cover to the back edge.

 

On my test fit. On the top screw I did not use the factory rubber stopper also. Hardest part is trying to screw the top right screw. I had to remove the strut bar to do it.

 

Jay,

Did you guys test this on the REV-UP engine?

Can you describe which washers to use, and which should not, please?

 

there is no difference in a rev up oem engine cover vs non as far as I've ever been able to tell.

I honestly don't see the need for any of the factory rubber grommets - people can use them if they wish, but they don't really serve much purpose

 

When is the third group buy for this?

 

What are people doing with their stock covers?

 

Right now we're just concentrating on getting the rest of the 2nd batch sent out. I have not decided if we are going to do a third group buy or not, or just make it a regularly stocked item - too early to tell

 

I sold mine already.

 

Oh baby, that looks sweet Carlos!!!!

 

Any update on when the second set might be in? I was hoping to get mine before I go down for cruising the coast.

 

we have a few more leaving tomorrow to some UK members, then just waiting for the remaining few to arrive from production, so should be soon

 

Sweet one Adam - does that include mine by any chance

 

Looking forward to it .

 

Just curious, anyone else have problems w/ installation? I know I talk to you already HBenet.
