^Pics don't lie. This part is dead in the water.

I just got both of my shift surrounds in the mail today. I am not very happy with the fitment or the quality. Neither one was cleared which I didn't expect after Bentong1 got his uncleared. I guess I could pay to have them cleared if they fit. However when I went to install them neither one would fit. Not even close to fitting. I am not sure if the tabs are glued or epoxied on but they look resistant to moving. The quality looks so so at best. The weave isn't perfect which honestly doesn't bother me however there are chunks of the binding agent (not sure what to call it). I am going to take some pictures with my Blackberry and post them here in just a few.

You can see here that the clips for the front just don't fit properly

Its hard to tell but there is a chip broken off the backside here.

Not sure what to call it other than a flaw

Here you can see a glob of the binding agent

I really hope the pillars turn out better, I am going to try and bend the better of the 2 surrounds and make it fit (fingers crossed I don't break it)
