I care...considering its 300 dollars & cost no more money to ensure drilling the holes in the proper location.

I care... it rests on the radiator hose and over time it will weaken the hose causing a potential leak leaving the driver stranded on the side of the road. Look just above my thumb.

I care that the carbon fiber rubbed off against the hood

I care that the corner trim is now pulling off from the air box.

There is no doubt...you get what you pay for and I am not surprised. If I knew it was going to have all these issues I would not have purchased it.

Above is a list of cons and they are facts (in my case) not opinion.

The pros: increased throttle response especially above 3800 rpm & a nice sound.

LOL....good point......It has to be the sound.

I am going to wrap it in heat foil & shore up the box so it's not sitting on the radiator hose. Then, I'll slide an old peice of radiator hose over the corner that wants to rub...just in case.
