Carbon Fiber front cowling?

I was looking at a carbon fiber front cowling on ebay, but I don't quite understand how it fits correctly. The cowling doesn't have a full space for the plastic ram air piece that you would attach to the back of an OEM cowling. It almost looks as if its already built into the cowling, but has no plastic cover for the little light under the ram air. My main question would be: Is there an issue when attaching aftermarket front cowlings?

don't bother. It will involve some modification. I bought the cheetah upper for mine a while ago and had to modify my mids. any aftermarket bodywork will need to be fitted and more than likely isn't going to fit like the stock plastics.

I got the one off ebay and all i had to do was ream up the holes a bit and trim a little on edge of the upper cowl it was too long and stuck out past the mid a little. I could have left it alone but it would have just bothered me so i trimmed it. But from my experence it was a very good fit i would give it a 98% fitmit. Plus the guys at the company that makes them are cool as hell. I also order a carbon fiber tail section but it didnt have the brake light tabs. They took it rite back and gave me my money back. Also the gave me like 50 bucks off for the timming i needed to do. There pretty good peeps.
