The good news is that other than the small Gap on the left, every other park of it fit amazingly well.

Mine has a 1/4" gap on the driver's side and it drives me crazy.

Please post pictures of your lip and the gap your talking about. Thanks.

Disregard all the old wax on it. hahaha. Needs a good buff anyways.

The gap is right inbetween the 2 holes that allow you to put in tapping screw. I'm going to use a drill bit to make another hole right in the middle of where the gap is to fit my drill so I can nut/bolt the sucker down as tight as it'll take. I HIGHLY recommend using nuts and bolts for all of the tapping screw locations. A much more secure fit. I plan to take out all the tap screws and replace them with matching nuts and bolts.

Finished result for the most part.

*Note* Don't own a husky/german shepherd mix unless you LOVE cleaning up dog hair every 2 hours

If anyone wants other viewing angles, let me know. I just can't put the bumper back on the car yet. Pouring the past 3 days.

Would you take some from the side of the bumper?

Thank you, sir. Again, it really looks good. Hope it stops raining soon so that you can put the bumper back on.

looks great op

careful with your lip in the sun, wash chemicals and uv will yellow/whiten it over time, as it did to my front lip. meguiars has a black plastic restorer that works great, brings back the black and shine, just a fyi for future reference
