FMIC install, look off to you?
Perhaps it's my OCD working overtime, but is it normal for aftermarket FMIC's to be off center like this? I just installed it a few weekends ago and noticed it when I washed the car this afternoon. You can see how you can see more of the tank on the right side then on the left. I installed it using the only mounting holes available so I don't think I did anything wrong.
Left side:
Right side:
Upper pipe I installed with it:

Its most likely due to that ridiculous decepticon sticker.
Actually it does look a little off.

And if it'd make my 9 yr old son like it more, I'd put a xfrmr sticker maybe on mine. I finally got him to like going fast. Now he gets on my case if I'm going slow and making him think I'm "showing off".
I told my wife it was good as a family car, with 4drs, seating for 5 and AWD. HAHAHAHAHA
