You had the time to contact carbing and get a replacement and you didn't.. You thought it would be a better idea to sell your problem off to someone eles.
And you never sent me a pm.

You are a joke man. YOU should of filed a complaint with the company you got it from instead of selling it off to someone without saying anything about the known bad fitment.

You're gonna have to work with the fitment of nearly ANY carbon fiber piece. The Carbign Craft has bad fitment, mine was terrible and they wouldn't have accepted it back...I ended up heating it, using a heavy foam-tape adhesive, bending and cutting to get a solid fit.
You will have to work with the C.C. shroud to get a decent fit, i seriously doubt that this seller screwed you over. I had to cut up some of the material near the mounting holes (they're recessed for some moronic reason) and then heat the corners to press-fit it in...once it's in it stays but I used some leftover foam tape just to be sure.
Good luck, but keep your bickering in PMs, from what I can tell you got the exact same fitment that I had from the factory, you're gonna have to massage it to get it to fit...imagine all the people that buy carbon hoods not expecting the hideous gaps and misalignments that are commonplace...

Here, this is my best attempt to help you out...
- Look at the red arrow...theres some garbage left in the backside of the mold here between the two recessed screw holes...this is preventing a flush mounting...you'll need to cut (dremel) and sand (dremel some more) this crap out...it takes a goot amount of trial and error and you have to pay attention to what's limiting a good fit.
- Repeat on the other side
- After you clean up the garbage there you'll notice that you still may have a gap...you want to start by installing the shroud one-corner-before-the-other (as opposed to straight in). Start by making sure that the corner by the blue arrow hits flush up against the bumper and then work the opposite corner into place...this is where I expect that you'll need to heat (slowly with a hairdryer) the carbon to get a fit...you'll then see that it's kind of a tension fit and it won't come out.
- Optionally, you can throw some foam tape (3M makes it) on the outside edges of the (flat) back of the shroud to ensure a permanent install.
The top of my shroud is no longer pretty with some chipped, cut and scuffed carbon but you will never see it with the plate in place.

We have had good reviews on our License panels. We stand behind them all. We have a good stock of them right now too. Some of the best EVOs in the world run our CF, AMS TIME ATTACK CAR, NORRIS DESIGNS EVO so we know our stuff is good!
Check out the other CF stuff for EVO/Lancer here.

Anyone that has purchased one of these recently care to comment? I want something that fits right but I hate to spend 160-200 bucks on a license panel. I almost ordered the Tyrant piece but after reading this thread I'm thinking twice.
