This fang overlay fits so well, it will hold up WITHOUT any double sided tape! (not that I suggest it )

^ how come you can still see some of the blue by the fang cover? Does it not cover all the way? Is this the Zstore version or evo-r's?

It fits well meaning there's enough resistance to keep this fang in place WITHOUT double sided tape. That corner shows a little bit of blue paint if you sit down and get close. Standing up, you can't see it. This is theZstore cf fang.

Something like that would drive me crazy, lol I wonder if the evo-r version does the same thing?

No clue about the EVO-R version.

I'm thinking about taking it off tomorrow (weather permitting). It could be installer error (perhaps one of the tape is sticking before the target surface and preventing the fang to fit snug all the way?) . The ONLY way to find out is to take it off and put it on again. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Ak, good luck

Might I suggest e-tape that area before re-applying the fang?

I've seen the same issue on the EvoR fang, but not as big of a gap. Their fang has more issues with the paint showing through the center vent primeter. Its pretty sad looking unless you paint/e-tape that area as well.
