I just put mine on today. Not a big fan of the paint job, but I'll post pics soon. I put silicone in the antenna hole since there was a bit of a gap so no water could get in there. I think that will help things a bit.

I will post pictures. I think it was intended. Maybe i put the metal piece on the wrong side? Either way, It's sexy as hell now. I used black silicone and it's the OEM black piece.

Using someone elses pictures, I marked out the hole.



That is the part I filled with silicone.

i just put my rexpeed on today also, i had trouble with fitment on the drivers side, no luck whatsoever, i test fitted it for about an hour and had no success... i still like it, the off placement is barely noticeable, but since i know its there its hard not to always look at it...

Rexspeed VG is just fine. Saw several pics of them here and they look great!

I'd take it off but for fear of stripping the paint off the car I'll just leave it
bump, did anyone else not fill that area?

I just bought some Permatex RTV Black Silicone. They have it in blue and red (i think).

That's the exact stuff I used.
