just put mine on today (AEV).. did anyone notice that the directions say 23mm or 3/4" for the distance to place the stencil from the hood latch indent? the two measurements are not equal! 23mm is almost .91mm? Everything else was rock solid and I'm loving it so far.. had to clean a bunch of mud from the bottom of my airbox but that made me realize i made the right investment.

Sounds like u had bad luck or are too picky. I got mine and installed it this week. $150 is by far worth it.
