I was just wetting everyone's appetite.......It doesn't fit perfectly. Two snap latches need to be cut off flush on the underside next to the duct. two holes need to be drilled for the two screws on the underside. All the rest of the latches and fasteners seem to line up. But......there is an 1/8" (3mm) gap next to the duct. It isn't that visible on a black car but would be more visible on a lighter color. Maybe a rubber/foam rubber seal could fill the gap and look more finished. See attached.

Bob. I agree. Also really helps somehow make the noise look less ugly. :-)
