Hi Everyone,

Just received my engine bars... scratches %?@!\**\(8!!!!

I'm in the process of installing them and I noticed that the small tube (on the inner side of the engine bar) that goes where the chrome blanking plug is doesn't fit like the plug. Is it supposed to fit inside like the plug or does it just sit on top??

It just sits on top.  One side of mine lines up great and one side is off a fair bit.  Anyone else had this happen?

Same here.  Bugs me every time I look at it.

Mine are a bit off too, but as I tightened everything up it lined up better.  When I first lined it up before tightening it all down the right side looked to be about a week off the mark, but it lined up better than I expected.
