Can any one Photoshop the car white with the diffuser black?

Yw.
The gap does bother me a little. I won't lie. But there is no way this particular part is going to mount flush in that area -- couldnt even force it if you wanted to. The FRP is very solidly constructed.
What bothers me more is the 3M tape the body shop put in there. Like me, they probably thought it would mount flush all the way around but there is no reason for that tape to be there. It also looks like they wedged in the tape behind the bridge as an afterthought. They probably didnt realize
that was the only area that needed tape until after they had mounted it. Now that I think about it, I did wonder why Varis supplied such a small roll of 3M tape with the part. An illustrated instruction sheet was also included but the text was in Japanese.
Still, I sort of feel like I'm nitpicking now. I am very satisfied overall. The diffuser flows with my other aero parts even better than I hoped it would.
Also, when I was trying to get underneath the car I noticed a couple more fasteners. That makes five screws overall, not three like I said earlier.
