The dipstick can easily be bent to fit. You will have to be creative when mounting it.
similar with mine, but I used a set made for a '98 on my '02, a few minor tweaks and bends and everything fits ok....

I think it would be a lot easier going that way because the 01-04 Air tubes are longer. The 97-00 air tubes are just a little too short, but easily fixed with an 8" piece of rubber tube

I have dealt with Nic at AR for a few years and the guy is a top notch professional and if you explain to him the mishap am sure they will exchange them for you.
