Got the kit at 5PM today and I must say I'm very disappointed in the fit of the kit I received, the main center dash pieces cover will not fit even come close to fitting over the gauge pods no matter how much you try, I've dry tested this kit for 2 solid hours and it will not fit, either putting the gauge pieces on first then laying the center dash over it or center dash first, then laying the gauges pieces over it. Bottom line, the CF area between both gauuges is at least 1/4 inch too wide. If someone got it to fit using a dremel tool, that's great for them, but I don't even own a dremel tool, and if I did I wouldn't know how to use it like a professional body shop would. This really sucks, I waited over 4 weeks for this dash kit and it doesn't even fit closely, and I don't thing I should have to pay someone to reshape the center cover so it does fit. I paid full price for this kit ($$563.00), no group buy discount, and I get this type of craftsmenship....WTF kind of BS is this, I feel like I got raped!!! I would like a full refund of my funds and if that means I have to pay the fee to mail it back to Taiwan, that's fine! Not Happy At All!!! I'm not saying that every kit is going to be as bad as mine, maybe I got the only lemon out of the batch, but the nevertheless, I spent alot of hard earned money and expected a first rate product.

Jay, out of curiosity, why didn't you dremmel the kits when you did your test fitments? Sounds like the fitment is way off according to Z FLY BY.

Well I've got some bad news, my fitment is even worse. The main console piece would need to be shaved on both sides because you can't move the air vents up and down, several of the pods need to be sanded down cause they are way off, and I can't get the shifter and console piece to align properly, even though I followed Jay's instruction. I'm extremely unhappy considering that these were all test fited prior to shipping.
I hope that I can get a refund, because I really don't feel like spending hours sanding this thing to get it to fit properly. With my luck, I'd sand it too much and then it would really look like ****.
I have to admit that the CF looks great, and the quality is really good, but the fitment is a major downer.
Edited to add: If I can get a refund, I'll still pay for and keep the shifter cover. It looks great and fitment on that piece was dead on.

How did Mike's (Leemik) kit fit well in the spots in question if the others are causing problems?

Wow guys this is dissapointing, I did not have time to test fit was going to start doing that tonight and into tomorrow morning, I do however have a nice buble in the clear coat on my nav door. I emailed Jay to see what can be done about that, I do not mind sanding to make it fit though for this price I would have liked to not have to do any modification, if it can be fixed with sanding I will have no qualm, but if it has any gaps I would not be happy, I will post after I test fit tonight folks.

All,
I just want to let everyone know that Jay has been communicating with me very effectively and is taking good care of my situation in a very professional business-like manner. I believe that after the bugs get worked out, this kit will be the best selling kit on the market, the quality of the CF is first rate, they just need to fix the fitment issues. I having nothing more to say on this subject, except that EVO-R is a good company and takes good care of their customers!!

Thats good to hear bro, I am still waiting to hear back from Jay as well about my buble issue, curious what he instructed you to do about fitment? Doesn't seem to bad but again I've not yet test fitted.
