Good fit for R6
I bought 2 panels for my Rupert Neve R6. Although other reviews have concerns over the panels leaving gaps, I will probably be filling in the remaining 2 slots before the end of the year so the panels are just temporary and these are a much better price for a short-term solution than the Neve panels. As it turned out, they're a really good fit. There are small gaps, but quite small, and I don't envision having problems since I keep a clean room. As a bonus, they included screws which I didn't need since the R6 came with all it would need, but it was very nice that they were included.

DO NOT BUY (Should be removed from Amazon)
This product is not cut or spaced properly. The screw hols do not line up and in most cases are too narrow to fit the existing 500 series screws.Save yourself the return hassle and lost time. This item should be removed for how wildly off their measurements are.

Do not buy these
I purchased the 8-pack, and I was sent a single panel. I reported it to Amazon, and they sent it to me again. And again, I was only sent a single panel. The quality is not good and I have no intention on buying from this seller ever again. Total disappointment!

Should’ve heeded other reviewers warnings
The size tolerance on these is off. They are about 1/32” too big on all sides, and holes are off by about the same amount. They will not fit side-by-side in a normal API 500 VPR next to each other or normal 500 series units. I have a couple other faceplates made by a different manufacturer that are correctly sized, and I’ve attached a photo of the correctly sized one lined up on top of this one to show the poor sizing/cut job. It’s too bad, because they come in fancy packaging with screws - but unfortunately they have one simple job (which is to FIT cleanly in a single space), and failed. Unless you are using these in a rack where units aren’t side by side, they will not fit. Don’t waste your time like I did with these. Live and learn :|
