Cool
Well, never mind.

Just took a file and shave maybe 1.5 kvnt hairs off the sides until the retainer fit snug.

Probably install it after the Montreal GP.

Forza Ferrari! Go Seb!

Yeah, sorry, I forgot that step...a little filing/trimming is necessary.

Install is easy. I didn't take the whole face plate off to trim the sides. I used a Dremel with a small carbide burr which made very short work of it.

Fun fact: Bergvillfx sells tiny little Porsche stickers that cover the "Continental" logo. A really nice touch if you are going for the retro-stock look.

US $7
