gap looks intintional to me.

it has the one crease in the middle of the bumper, then the gap kinda "accents" it if you wanna call it that

Lsportline is known to have a tad bit of fitment problems w/ their bodykits.

on the IS300 kit the gap is also much more noticeable on in the rear by the tail lights.... the corners protrude pass the fenders a bit also.

but then the Lsportline is one of the best looking kits IMO. thats the price you pay I suppose. I'm surprised the Lsportline fits so well on the GS actually.... from past experience I'm surprised it wasn't a big issue in the GS world.

Here another shot from the back. Don't know if you can tell but there is about a 3mm gap between the bumper and the light.

The front on the other hand fits really nice all around. Even the undercarage matches up well with everything. I know most kits overlook a lot of that.

I switched to the LSportline Kit because the RMM front end was getting to be a pain with it being so aggressive. The LSportline Kit gives you about 3 inches more clearance in the front over the RMM front bumper.

yeah from a distance it's ok, but up close the fitment is a bit off. especially since you have a silver car so the color shows up even more

nonetheless though, i think your car looks good i think it's not as aggressive as the old rmm kits but it's cool

The aggressiveness is the reason why I changed to this. I was tierd of drving around with such a low kit, and raising the car was out of the question. The place (Santini Paint) could have done a better job matching the paint, but overall the car looks good.
