Marshall,
I have purchased, but have not yet installed the kit from CIP.  Wasn't too
pleased with the kit, not what I had expected.  It does not resemble
factory.  It does not have the wide edge in the front.  My leading edge is
in OK shape and I will probobly just cut around and replace the rest.  I did
purchase some 3M weatherstrip to install.
I bought from there, for as you know, we in Canada can't afford the GST,
PST, duties and exchange to buy from the States, and there aren't many other
options.  I also bought there because they had a S&S header kit in stock,
and would give me free shipping.  They didn't however, credit my internet
$25 USD discount.  The service was quick and friendly, however and would
consider buying from there again.
Will update you when I get it installed.
By the way, I like the S&S headers, and the installer didn't find it
difficult to install at all.  I may not of either if I had a lift to work
under. : )

the original) and doesn't require an adhesive, (like the original).
