Well it was as simple as locking everything down . Mike told me where to put all the vice grips then had me lock the subframe in place. He knew EXACTLY where I needed "TAP", and trust me it took a lot more than that. Every time I had a section in place I gave it a little tack weld so that section wouldn't move. And just kept pushing and tapping until it all set in place. It's funny Mike knew where the problem spots were before I even told him.The problems I was having are very common with these aftermarket firewalls. What really pisses me off is every reseller I talked to said "No one has problems that we aware of". Yet Mike has had the same issues with everyone he has installed.

Good to hear Mike was able to help and had all the answers! God knows Mike has done enough of them to know what it takes to make the parts 'work' together!

Mario -- They're "not problems" because the people that buy this crap fix it!

Mario....glad its resolved now. However the only way these parts will get any better is if we call the companies and inform them of what we had to do to fix there excellent reproduction, nice fitting sheetmetal. Maybe if they hear enough feedback they will correct some of the problems.

I know it takes time to do this and we may be wasting our breath, but I know AMD welcomes feedback.

Nothing ever fits from a firewall to a license plate holder.
