lol - I had to bend it a little. I only put it on when it's picture time!

APR techs and others say that it's supposed to fit without a problem, but the boost sensor on mine sits about an eighth of an inch too high, so the cover is about a quarter inch too high on one side or the other.

Used a drill with a step bit following a regular bit for a pilot hole.

And as of this post, the original write-up is still being truncated by the new vB software.
