It slips on after you take the carpet off AND you cut in half down the middle. Ask me how I know.
Same with their door sills. You have to unclip either the front interior kick panels, or the rear corner panels if you want the door sills to attach from one plastic seam to the other. Otherwise, the door sill falls short about 1/4" depending on which seam you try to fit snug. Again, ask me how I know.

I got the second made...I also have the early runs of the door sills as well. I took off the carpet, and the center console still wouldn't fit over the tunnel. I litteraly had to cut the console down the middle (lengthwise).
With the two halves on, and the center console garnish mounted, there's about 1/8" gap inbetween the two halves (there was no way the console cover was going over the tunnel...even without the carpeting underneath).
No more Mastercrap stuff for me!!!

That's funny because none of my Mugen CF pieces crack when I fit them on the car. 
Actually with my Mastercrap center console, there was NO way it wasn't going to shatter. The clearcoat started to crack with the amount of flex I was giving it.
Had I been able to force fit it over the tunnel, it would have sat warped on the tunnel and none of the mounting holes for the center console garnish would have lined up.

I went down there and picked it up myself. Their shop wasn't that big, and they made stuff to order. Family run business too, it seems like.

Were you part of the x-mas order debacle that kept getting delayed with the middle man reaping incentives from setting up the deal?
The mastergrade fenders fit very well on my car and worked (aerodynamically)

I haven't seen your S2K in along time.

Need to get it out of PNO soon, registration is up for renewal in 2 weeks. I don't think I can get very far with 275 hoosiers in the rear and no roof (sold the hardtop, soft has been removed).
