Any chance you could maybe work on putting some punctuation into your posts. Just a simple comma or period makes all the difference when trying to read what you wrote.

Back on topic, I also agree that you are asking for trouble with the low fitment, but it's your call. I guess I would say leave it until you get a new one that fits the whole opening. Good job on installing the kit by yourself though. I appreciate anyone that can actually do work on their car.
