It's actually not bad at all. The plastic seems slightly stiffer and the finish is slightly duller than my OE non-Sport cover. A quick wipe with Armor-All made it look a lot better.
The inside of the cover looks very similar, with the same thin fault lines as the OE (where the cover will split if the airbag deploys). The emblem is made out of very thin metal with 5 fold-over tabs to hold it in place. It does not appear to pose a threat en the event of a deployment. The logo is just about perfect, so no issues there.
I should have the OE Sport cover next week. I'll post pictures so you can see and compare for yourself.
