Nope, no issues with fitting or rubbing. It's just a matter of gettings in the right place and making it fit. It's tight! and the MAFS needed to be turned 180 and the wiring didn't have much play (some, but not much). But I will say that once it's in, it fits like a glove and there is a BIG difference. I was surprised

The brace fit great. But I had to, ever so carefully, move the brake fluid overflow bracket (I think that's what it is) forward about 1/8 inch. Nothing else is stressed so I think it'll be ok.

I didn't think they were making the yellow for 06?
