Then I tried to install them. WTF! Just like you described with the Ragu brand.
THEY DON"T F'ING FIT. WHAT THE HELL?
They suggest " that you have to do some minor trimming" modify the plastic cowling to get them to fit. Are they that stupid they can't design something that just fits?......and after the first install, are they are too hard up to redesign it? Pretty piss poor workmanship & design when with just a little effort it could be corrected.
I am also not amused. Sadly, I had already drilled one side out to fit my requirements before discovered this f'ing defect.
Glad I saw this before cutting up my cowling, Caliraisedled are on order.....

I just installed the CBI set as well. It is a little annoying to have to modify the truck. But it was simple enough to warm up the cowling with a heat gun and slightly mold it downwards. Can barely tell that I did anything. And I have done enough of that type of thing to my truck that I don't see it as a big deal.
