Did you get the correct application for your year? The 03-05 front bumpers are shaped slightly different than the 06-08. Hope you get it worked out. Will wait to see pictures.

Answered this in your other thread.

The authenic fits like a glove, replicas are hit and miss.

Post pics of your version and we can troubleshoot.

So you tried to install it and what happens? Does it leave a funky gap in the front?

You might just want to take it to a shop since it looks like it needs to be painted anyway.

I've got an Veilside (authentic) CF lip that fits great. It has some slight surface damage, but if you're planning on painting anyway, it could work for you. It's just sitting in my extra bedroom collecting dust if you're interested.

depends where you got it. not all replicas are created equal.
you have really good replicas and you got really bad replicas and everything in between.
get the authentic from treefiddyzee if it suits you

completly crooked i would have to bend it to make it fit an the fiberglass would prob break in half the supports for the bottom are way off an the center piece leaves a gap on either side depending on how you slide it an also a gap on the center.everyangle on it is different their not identical or even close to identical.
