So i am curious to know. Has anyone with the Tokico D-Specs tried these yet? I know the center bolt on the Tokico Strut seems to protrude higher than the stock Strut so has anyone looked at this being and issue yet?

I'm sure they want to get whatever "solution" they come up with right before starting another new project

Your a beta tester
I just got mine too and said the same thing to myself, then I read the "PLEASE READ" letter. It says that we are testers for redesigned covers and when Midwest gets all feedback back we will all get new ones that are correct color.
Well, I got my replacements strut tower covers today. For free to test. Only one problem is that they are the wrong color. I got black.
Then tonight I notice these new puppies from Steeda..

Alan, Kerry, Bill?
Can someone please snap these R&D covers on and tell us if the riding issue is fixed?

I took some pics this weekend kind of as my "before" pictures, and I was going to do some driving tomorrow (rain today) and see what happens. I don't really have any transfer tape or anything like that to get a look see on it. I will have to eyeball it.
There was a disclaimer in the letter that the finish of the finished product would look nicer on the monogram side.. Right now, the comment was that they just wanted to test the mold. I will ride around on Tues and see if I see anything. Like you mentioned, Bill. I am also not feeling it anymore for this product. My biggest frustration with them is actually taking the suckers off without breaking one of the plastic teeth.

O.k. those Steeda covers are sweet IMO. Bill,how could you not like those ? Can we cancel our order to Midwest if we are waiting for replacements?? The new ones look like they got melted on the sides

Chuck, where did you read that I didn't like the Steeda billet covers?
I DO like them!
I do NOT like the re-designed MWAG covers; looks too caved in. This is just my opinion, I'm sure some will like this new design.
I'm not sure how the refund policy will work. I piggy-backed my order off of Leo's.

I wasn't on the initial shipment of these, my order was on hold. I pulled the trigger and got my refund and purchased the Steeda's. Might not be till next week, but I'll be sure to post pics.

Well I got my covers late yesterday afternoon and did some testing.
The testing involved getting putty (spackle) and spreading about a 1/8-1/4 inch over the entire top of the strut covers. After doing so I closed the hood and pressed down on the area directly over the strut covers. Upon reopening the hood there was no transfer of putty to the underside of the hood. There does not to appear to be any hood bulge with the new design.***FYI I have the hoodliner/heatshield removed so I may have a little extra clearance*** I'll do some driving tomorrow and see if that causes any rubbing while going over speedbumps or driveways.
My only complaint now is the appearance. I'd suggest moving or reducing the size of the logo area since with the new design it seems to end so aburptly. I'd hope that MWAG will work on this aspect now that it seems the technical problems have been solved.
One thing I did notice and not sure how they accomplished this but the covers are now very simple to remove and don't go flying out of your hands. Kudos to MWAG. Now please fix the design and I'll be happy.

Glad to see that progress has been made but I'm not liking the look too much either. I agree, they may have to redesign the appearance part to make it as good looking as it is functional. The logo may have to be made smaller to fit/look right now that the cutout is larger.
