Maier MX-style Fender Fitment

For those of you who have swapped out your stock fender for one of the MX-style fenders - did you have any problems getting the sidepanels to "mesh" nicely with the mx fender?
Everythings fine except that the back edge of the right-hand sidepanel wants to slightly overlap the leading edge of the visible portion of the new fender. The mx fender fits everywhere else very nicely.
I tried loosening bolts, remounting fender, etc . . . same thing. I can trim a couple of mm's off the offending edge of the sidepanels but wanted to see your experiences (and I HATE to go hacking on the plastic!)
Thanks!
BTW the stock rear fender w/ light, wiring harness, tool bag - whole kit & kaboodle - will be listed under "Parts and Bikes" section if anyone needs a replacement.

Mine was off a tad... I think your subframe may be slightly tweaked...

doesn't take much to get it right, might have better luck with making the mount holes in the fender egg shape for easy adjustment I also hacked the ends off the subframe for a cleaner look and used rubber grommets on the top mount holes. still ended up a little over lapped on the right side. the 98 KX fender graphics work nice.

Thanks guys . . .
I LOVE the "new" look.
Still debating on what to do on the front - headlights or number plate. If I go with the plate what works well? Will it still work out OK when I get some USD forks?

I could not imagine not having a headlight, especially this time of year
Never really saw much use for a taillight til I rode with Carvr at the dunes at night
