Hell if you can't tape it up well enough have a local body shop mold the lip to your bumper. You get what you pay for but I still say you got a hell of a deal on it. May not be perfect but it looks fine to me.

Not too bad but the edges aren't lined up perfectly. For so cheap, it doesn't look that bad. Maybe just play around with the fit for a bit and see if you can't get it to look better. Try to make it look like it's an extension rather than just a pasted on part.

Paint shop owes you a matching color! looks too White for your car's color. Or is it just the photo?

I bought some splitters off ebay and had a similar experience. One side fit perfect the other was really bad. Ended up having to take it off and put it on 3 times before I worked out all the gaps.

Mine look good now. They came to me for $100 shipped. I can't argue with that. The best part is that if they get messed up on a curb I just take them off and toss them out.
I think you will be looking good if you can get rid of a few of those gaps. I should also mention that my car is black which hides things better than white. |

I ended up sanding the inside of the piece as best I could. I did heat up the tape and made sure the outside by the wheel well was flush. That was where I had my gap. I secured that part first with heat then moved to the middle of the bumper. Yours looks like one large piece so I'm sure it's harder. Maybe have a couple friends come over and help. I really could have used an extra set of hands myself.
