i still have my m3 bumper from them, positive is I dont have the fog lights (although Long worked really hard to get the M3 right and left scoop to look right) but the center grille does not fit! And I'm sure new one has better fitment

we just put it on to illustrate the poor fitment of the fin before we sent it back

Yes, the reason why the hole looks that big is that the original cutout is too far forward, so my body shop has to cutout more CF to make the roof fit like stock. We ended up getting two CF fins from cyba and molded the two into one to create a big enough fin cover for the roof. You really can't tell the fin is not stock:

I returned the ******** CF shark fin and got a full refund including shipping (UPS eff'ed up the delivery somehow). I bought TWO CF shark fin covers from cyba, and had the body shop mold them to the shape of the cutout and paint the product gloss black.

This is with one cyba's fin:

READ!

"THAT IS WITH ONE cyba fin"

We had to air freight another one from Taiwan to complete the job. The second one, we cut the front, and mold it with the fin you saw above to create one giant fin cover. Unfortunately, I don't have a closeup pic of the fin completed.
