I don't get it, the empeg sits in teh car, but all around it you can see the metal sleeve, like the sleve is bent a whole lot, or the epeg face isn't big enough to cover it all. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, same here. I do have a proper mounting kit (I've seen the same one in several places so it might well be the only one available for my car). It hasn't started to bother me enough yet to do anything about it, though.
