I received my billet coil pack mounts and covers (powdercoated red) last week and put these bad boys on in a couple of hours.

Per George's recommendations, I removed the coil packs from the car and assembled them with the new covers on the mounts on the bench. These pictures show the fit and finish of them.

The only issues I ran into were on the passenger's side. I currently have the OEM fuel line setup and was unable to install the covers without first loosening the bolt holding the line down. I then had to retighten the bolt about halfway back down so that the line fit snugly over the cover. The other issue was with the spark plug boot on the coil pack near the front having some impedance with the dip stick. This was fixed by bending the bracket holding the dip stick enough to give it clearance.

Overall, incredibly impressed with the quality of the kit, even down to the stainless hardware that was supplied. Can't beat the price and customer service either.
