quality of the parts is very nice. i purchased both A pillar covers and the windshield cowl at one time to save on shipping. all the parts fit very nicely, just don't attempt to install in cold weather. the warmer temps and the sun help give the fiberglass pieces a little flex when installing.

the only issue i have is that the driver's side A pillar cover's double sided sticky tape did not hold to the windshield in the center. both the top and bottom grabbed and are still holding. not sure if this was caused by installer, me, error or a defect in the tape.

i just installed as they came. i figured since this truck gets used on trails and i live in Missouri, think lots of trees and branches constantly hitting the A pillars, i'd leave them unpainted. i know. i could install some limb risers. but i probably won't.

the A pillar covers and the windshield cowl all have a smooth finish and look nice right out of the box.

Just curious but what is the effect of the broken cowl? Is it cosmetic or does it impact something else? Is it worth paying $150 to fix?

It blocks water from coming into the hvac through a gaping hole in the firewall just underneath the cowl on passenger side. Water can run straight through and past the blower motor, onto your passenger floor.
