Has anyone installed the Darkside FMIC on a North American MkIV?

I've searched a lot but can't seem to find any threads detailing an installation.
I have the kit and have been working with Darkside to figure out why it does not seem to fit on my car (they've been good to work with), but figured that I'd reach out to the community here as well.
The pipes (both upper and lower) don't seem to fit quite right - close, but not quite and not close enough where a little grinding/clearanceing will make it fit.
I seem to remember reading that the US spec crash bar can be used with a little modification, however looking at it in detail and comparing it to the installation manual, there are a lot of differences and it would require a lot of modification. Has any one done this and would have a picture they could share of what was done to make it work?
Did any of the pipes give you trouble?
As I mentioned, Darkside has been good to work with so I'm not saying they have a bad product or anything. I'm just having some trouble figuring out how to make it all fit together.
Any help or previous experience that you can share would be greatly appreciated!.
Thanks!!
