JDM right hand cover ordered from Grubbs for $49.95. This was a near perfect fit without having to cut or trim. You do need to drill two holes on the bulkhead compartment. Here's what it looks like installed.

Yup, I did install one more support on the back of the cover but it's not needed. You will have one blank on the back side if you don't add the extra support but the cover won't move or rattle. Just put a fastener in the hole and you won't see a difference. Either way, the compartment looks a lot cleaner and more symetrical.

I just ordered one too...

I finally talked myself into paying 62 bucks for a piece of plastic that really doesn't do anything. =)

G35 Coupe
i just installed one that i got from peformance nissan like a month ago, and it was such a pain , its not even funny for how much of a bitch this thing was, had to get the dremel out and keep cutting away untill i got the thing to fit right and make a bracket to plug in one of those clips from the engine side. Took way to long for what it was, but at least it looks perfectly clean now.

So I had to dremel about 30% of the stupid cover to make it fit flush and perfect...

Pics coming soon.
