Seriously, the way those 2 tabs slide into the wheel well gives you almost 0 slack to line it up any differently than how they intended. When I first did it the first test fit, I noticed the fang portion didn't line up 100%. There was absolutely no way it was going to line up either (measured the distance about 3 times, mathematically it wouldn't work). You would either have 1 side off by about 5-10mm or both sides slightly off. But really, once those tabs were behind the wheel well section it didn't matter. The lip was going to line up however the hell they wanted it. There was virtually no way to fix it. Of course, it was something so minor no one else would notice so I still installed it. The sagging lip however....not so minor. We will see what they say about the pictures. Although, I am definitely expecting the response to go like this: "After reviewing these pictures, we are not able to fully see where the lip is "sagging". We think it is due to you not using the 6 screws and tape to hold the lip on as we directed. Sorry." But, I don't see how PROPERLY securing the lip to the bumper would cause a flaw. I mean, as everyone else has noticed, the tape doesn't line up 100% and there are some gaps where it doesn't make contact. I even resorted to trying a thicker industrial tape to see if it would line up, and it didn't. Never heard of any other lips having this problem and never experienced this installing many of the other front lips I have on many other cars.
