I did and fitment was pretty good. I bought mine a while back so can't say for today's standard. Their mold was made of one of the few first authentic ones.

authentic always fit but, reps are either hit or miss. but, shine has a really good track record and can't complain about 700 shipped

Don't buy into the hype. I paid 300/400 for my authentic asm flares and was disappointed with the fitment. Same can be said about the authentic asm front bumper. Do a little search and you'll see the guy that gave his original for shine to make the mold was not impressed with its fitment. Shine products do fit better than some of its competitors due to the fact these other low rent companies are making copies of a copy. Not from an original or bought a mold that has been used a gazillion times. The mold eventually deforms over time hence why I stated I'm not sure on the fitment now or if they made a new mold.

As for authentic always fitting, the only company I can put my full endorsement behind fitment is mugen.

I stated that when I did my build thread. There will be gaps if you don't mold the flares. Either they will have to add fiberglass to the flares or sand down to even them out.
