Welcome to the wonderful world of poorly fitting aftermarket parts...


One of the main reasons why Im glad I went JDM... Most of my parts are OEM... Only main (exterior) part that isnt is my carbon fiber hood, which is a ViS, and it still fit like ass and took abit of working to get it to work...

Anyways, about your problem, it could be one of 2 things... A design flaw that will allow it to just not fit perfectly (usually the case)... Or your car was hit in the passed and wasnt aligned perfectly...
