Default NRG Carbon Fiber Issues

I just bought a brand new Carbon fiber NRG Hood, Spoon Style wing, and Hatch for my 92 civic hatch. I was curious if anyone else had any issues out of them. First off I had to space out the latch on the hood almost a 1/4 inch just to get it to latch with the factory latching mechanism set at its highest setting and now there's a 1/4 inch gap between it and the front bumper. I could almost live with that but theres a pretty damn big gap between the wing and the hatch glass again I could almost deal with that but the hatch is where it all goes to hell. First off get a dremel ready because they threaded the holes where the latches go like they expected them to bolt to the outside and I've had to use the dremel to cut out the inside area of the threaded holes so that I could run longer bolts through to make it work. The holes for the taillights are too small and need to be enlarged, the threaded holes for the license plate are in the wrong place completely so that has to be cut out as well. The area for the lock cylinder for the key will not work at all either, once its installed it is about a 1/2 inch away from the actual hole itself. I am extremely pissed off about this and they are of absolutely NO help. The quality of the Carbon is very nice its just like someone set a monkey loose in a factory to check fitment. Granted I haven't dealt with NRG directly the vendor has not helped me whatsoever. Anyone else have these issues?

That sounds like a mess. Who did you buy it from? I haven't ever seen NRG's work in person but it sounds like some shady sh*t. Send that sh*t back and get a hold of "bloodylip" on here. He can get some really nice looking and stock fitting parts. Top of the line stuff man.

Yeah I'll get some pics for you guys. I thought about sending it back but I've already modified it. I'm just pissed I spent my money on here trying to support our honda-tech community and I got screwed.
