CF Radiator Cover HELP!

Hey everyone, I have a 2008 G37S. I bought a Carbon Fiber Radiator cover for it, but i ordered it for the 4 door. It shouldnt make a difference right? I figured the engine bays would be the same... The only reason I did it, is because the company i went through, didnt have a listing for the 2 doors. I refuse to do business with Amplified or Status-Elite as Ive had nothing but bad customer service with both.

Any help on this would be appreciated!

After a few quick searches, it appears as though it will fit on both the coupe and the sedan. This is probably one of those questions you should have asked before ordering though

Question, where did you get it from? I've been trying to get one through Amplified and have been having the same luck with customer service.

I would be careful about the carbon fiber crap on Ebay. I bought a CF engine cover and after a couple of months it faded so bad I had to buy paint that matched the car and paint it just so it didn't look so bad. I believe the heat under the hood caused it but not for sure.

LOL I know how it is being deployed and spending the money before you get home. When I got home in 2010 I bought new race rims and slicks. Then I said to hell with deploying again and just retired after 24yrs. Thanks for your service though.
