horrible fitting. lots of gaps, you cant even bolt em in cause theres no material behind some of the holes in teh SFCs to put a bolt through. i had to modify the hell out of em i basically turned them into the MAC version that have no sides just the plates that sit on the subframes. the only one i didnt mod was that drivers side front.

humm mine fit fine, its a tight fit, had to hammer them onto the rails then drill the holes and bolt them on tight. Then I welded them in.
