Lol not flimsy at all. It is thin and light, it looks delicate but it's def not weak at all.

Fitment could be better, I had to grind several areas to make it fit and it is still making contact with the hood on the passenger side.



The yellow marks are where I had to grind from underneath the piece, they are not flush and the edges extend to far down causing the piece to be raised and not letting the hood latch in place.

The area on the green circles is where the piece hits that center area of the radiator support. I just grinded the edges a bit, this allowed me to push the cover further inside towards the engine bay.

The red marks is where I still have contact with the hood, passenger side is more noticeable.

After talking to PW:JDM they came out with a new mold and apparently it is still not perfect but better. I am sending mine in for replacement next week.
