Very odd. We have 3 test cars we used for review and feedback and are all same - exact fit as OEM.
I got your message the first time... No need to repeat yourself. Note that the part fits (as in doesn't come off/pop off while driving). However, the front right clip (maybe right two clips) aren't not completely secured. While the OEM part requires quite a bit of effort and force to remove, this part does not require nearly as much. It does fit, but is not an OEM fit.

It's cool that you got it to fit in 3 cars. Sweidit has gotten theirs to fit in countless cars too. The edge rim (thinnest portion towards the front of the visor hood) of the second* Sweidit hood and the Overland hood were not bunching up any more than the other was. I was told that it fit in another Civic they tested it in. And the Sweidit fit the same way as the Overland, but would pop out at speed; part of me feels like the stitching is what is causing it to pop out when moving, though I don't have proof of that unfortunately.

That said, manufacturing tolerances/variation can cause slightly thicker (as in millimeters) parts to not fit perfectly, I feel like that is possibly what's going on here with my car. Maybe I got the unlucky draw of having a slightly thicker housing for the visor hood so a slightly thicker visor hood wouldn't fit perfectly. I'm not blaming Overland's part nor Sweidit's; I don't feel like the upholstered part is the issue... I feel like the issue is on my end (either me or the car).

*the first Sweidit hood I purchased was confirmed to be from a defective batch that was sent out.

Made a PayPal payment on 3:30 p.m. their time on 5/1/2019. The parts were shipped on 5/21 and received yesterday, 5/23, via USPS Priority Mail.

Your profile says you are in PR — maybe it takes substantially longer to mail products to PR?

I recommend that you hit up Jin, though. It sounded like they are running a little behind on production and shipment, and could use a reminder.

These are worth the wait, though.

Got off a flight from Korea this morning, needed something to do so I'd stay awake.
Just finished installing this Handkrafted steering wheel.

we are obsessed with quality and weight savings ;-) these came for testing...m14x1.5 size for fk8 fitment and all use 19mm sockets.

- titan 7 patent pending all titanium lug nuts weigh a mere 0.8 ounce each or 15.5 ounces for 20. not yet available for sale until june but will be priced $320 for silver and $340 for anthracite (shown) per set. net unsprung weight saved vs oem chrome nuts = 2.04 lbs x factor of 3 = 6.1 lbs sprung/dead weight saved.

- spoon sports chromium molybdenum steel in black weighing 2.3 ounces each or 2 lbs 11.3 ounces for 20. sold through go tuning unlimited at $220 per set. net unsprung weight saved vs oem chrome nuts = 0.3 lbs x factor of 3 = 1 lbs sprung/dead weight saved.

- compared to oem chrome lug nuts weighing 2.4 ounce each or 3 lbs 0.1 ounce for 20.
