No not sure, I know the hood is a little different so there may be a gap.

The clips for the mesh don't stick for crap and need to have better glue on them. Not a big deal and an easy fix. I just got some 1minute epoxy and fixed them. Also it does not mount to the bottom so you need to get some 3M double-stick tape for it. All-in-all a small price to pay for the looks.

I love it. It looks great on my car. I think you need to have some mods to make this look right. On a stock car it would look odd but if you have wheels and are lowered it fits well.

It has been raining every day here in north phoenix so I have not been able to wash my car and take pics. I will get some up this week. Sorry for the delay.

Our cars are what, like 3 years old now and that wasn't enough time for R&D to take time to make it fit without the end user having to modifying it??? Sounds like someone did a sh!tty job to make a quick buck.

Uh no ...it fits fine and just like the one they made for the coupe. It still mounts to the four snap plugs on the top. You don't even need it to mount to the bottom because the hood does not allow it to move anyway. The larger opening of it does not leave room for the lower clips so double sided tape is used. I would rather have a larger opening and more air for cooling on my SC.

^^ We're just making comments based on what you just wrote, "The clips for the mesh don't stick for crap and need to have better glue on them. Not a big deal and an easy fix. I just got some 1minute epoxy and fixed them. Also it does not mount to the bottom so you need to get some 3M double-stick tape for it."

I guess I should have replaced the word "fit" with "complete". Apparently it fits fine but you have to fix the mesh and use 3m tape for it to look proper My bad, its my oversight!

I agree it is far from perfect and needs a couple things to make it 100%. I guess I am just happy having a choice.
