did mine looks great on 2001 black L use the black plastic clips that come with it on the rear end of cap housing screws are not long enough by themselves, it will stick out just a tad in the rear verses the front, looks great with my newley accetoned emblems,glad i did not get the (non polished )billet aluminum , the shinny cap looks

I just re-ordered another one a few days ago as they messed up on my first order. Glad to hear it looks good from a second owner.
Are there any pictures of the lights they sell on an L?

Doesn't fit!

I got one of these in today. The holes do not line up on mine. The two near the hinge are of just a bit. The two on the other end are not even close. Called the company already, and they said to call back. I'll post again after talking to them.

EXCITED, did you do anything with the screws on the other side where the plastic clips were? They don't align with anything. I have no clue what to do with those. And I broke one of the metal clips that came on the hinge side. The company said send it back at my expense. I'd rather just get it on somehow. Thanks.

slide the clips on the edge of your cap housing at the rear area , where the holes in the cobra lid lign up with the clips attached to your truck and screw the 2 screws into your clips,
so that the clips are attached to the trck body housing with the slit in the clip, and the screwwhole facing your screw .
the clip attaches to your truck and then you screw your 2 rear screws into the clips ,that are attached to the truck via the slit in the clip.
