Matt,

I've done this upgrade and can say without hesitation that the fit and finsih are excellent.  That's not to say that there isn't some work to do on installation.  The coating is very thick which made some of the switch holes too small for the switches.  Nothing some careful sanding and grinding wouldn't correct, but it does take a little work.

As to their need for the cigarette lighter cowl - actually they need all your pieces.  They copy them for size and location of holes.  You get them all back if you ask.  What's different about the cigarette lighter cowl is that this piece is reused.  It has a metal backing that they need to apply the vaneer to.

It's a worthwhile upgrade.  The results are quite impressive.
