Well...I googled and found this guys erbe with a bug body. I am 99% sure I got the wrong body (unless they discontinued one that was even longer than the "long" version...which I doubt seeing as how the erbe probably sells more bodies than any older 2.5 length body).

This guy has his mounted on the rear where its supposed to go (flat section above engine), and has a solid 2 inches between the posts and the headlights (where as mine are right up toward the very front of the hood, pretty much would be coming out of the fenders/side of the hood, less than an inch from the headlights).
Darn it! I will have to measure when I get home to see what size I got. If they sent me the short version I think tower owes me two cans of paint and a long version! Of course I used most of my nice Monster Energy decals for this body too... O well.
