I just installed a set of these on my LE today. The left Alpha Quadrant protector was harder to install on my game than I anticipated. I tried bending the factory protector and slipping the new one behind it, but it was too tight to fit properly. I ended up having to loosen the Warp ramp and loosen the asteroid plastics so I could get to the hex nuts and unscrew the factory protector. Once I had it off, I was able to manipulate the metal so that everything lined up correctly. It was a bit of a pain, but well worth it for the piece of mind it provides. Overall, I'm very pleased with this mod and would highly recommend it!
