Right Side Battery Cover Added (Pic)
I got mine from Grubbs and it doesn't fit
Well, it fits but the ridge for the rubber is too high and the hood doesn't close right.
Update: I searched and found that some take a lot of trimming. That's what I did and now it fits. I'll post some pics of what I trimmed. Basically, the ridge part I thought the rubber gasket went on is really the mark for trimming back to. It fits inside the metal frame... plus I drill one hole (pointing to it) Here's some pics

I got mine yesterday from Grubbs and installed it last night. The instructions suck! There are no pictures of where to locate come of the grounding points, just directions like "the middle of the timing chain cover" or "through the grommet to the battery location". How hard is it to include a couple of pictures with instructions. I got through it but could have save about half an hour if there were better instructions. On a positive note, the wires are high quality and I had no problems with fitment. Install took about an hour.

Probably not worth the money, but at least I can look at the engine without shaking my head. Now all I need is the Top Secret hood dampeners and some Skyline kickplates and I will officially have the most useless mods of anyone in the group. 
Great mods. enjoy
