Default Im not happy with this 09 JDM front lip

The lip is authentic, I checked everything before I PAY., but fitment came out like this!
im pissed! this is a JDM high quality part? What do you guys think? it's the lip or installation problem I don't know I waited 3 months for this and it fits worse than replicas!

Is it polyurethane or fiberglass? Possibility could be the lip was bent out of shape when handling it or when shipping it if it is polyurethane. Either way send it back and ask for a refund or for another part. It'll most likely be hard to fix or expensive if you take it to a shop.

I am not sure you can get a refund now that you have installed it. Could it be a bad install?

so funny that people equivocate JDM with QUALITY. Look at HKS exhausts for example, JUNK. Thermal R&D makes way better exhausts and they're a USA company.
