Mine looks exactly like dr. dirty's. No issues. Just picked it up at Adavanced Auto Parts and they installed for free in 5 minutes.

No just yellow on the top. And did you install the Gray tabs on the bottom that snap in place before you installed. That mod # do you have?

Take everything off the battery and use the grey piece that has a semi curculare cut out in it with the stock bolt to hold it down. It will fit just fine, mine is nice and snug.


PM me if you have any problems and I can walk you through it over the phone.
