Default LSportline Rear Bumper Owners - ???

For those of you who have the LSportline Rear bumper, do you have a small gap between the bumper and the tail light. I thought the kit fit better.

Mine has a small gap, too, but not any more than it did when it was stock.

I was a bit concerned about the fitment at first, but after looking at some stock GSs, I realized it was about the same. I think I noticed it more, because it was the first time I had really looked at the rear of the car that closely.

Mine also has a small gap. Otherwise my fitment is pretty darm good. When I initially got the bumper I had it painted by a shop but the initial (paint & prep)result was horrible so I had my local Lexus dealer body shop do some major work to the bumper because it had some pit holes and needed some TLC. They spent about 2 days making sure it was perfect before painting it. The outcome as you can see is flawless. I am very happy !!.
Here are some pics

Can see the little gap here best since I took this pic with flash.

Lsportline has been discontinued but is in the process of bieng produced again uner DAZZ. Thet is why we have a lot of people looking for the rear bumpers.
