So I got the shipment from Partshop today, all prepared to revel in new-parts karma...

Note that the rubber boot comes with the shield, so you don't have to buy it separately, like I did.

Also note that there are only 4 holes on this cover. Hmm... well, there were two versions for my model year so I wasn't worried (other than buying a couple extra of those really expensive but nice socket head sheet metal screws ). I bought the part specified for my VIN and Phil at PartsShop verified it.

Alas, when I went to put it on my car it doesn't fit. The rear will fit perfectly, the front will basically fit, but they won't both fit at the same time. The cover seems to be a half-inch or inch too long, in overall length and between the front/rear screw holes. If I were to cram it in there it'd be bowing out dramatically.
