1/4 inch Gap on Aftermarket Aero Lip

I cannot get rid of that gap no matter how hard I press down or how much double sided tape I use. I have tried the windex trick and have applied the double sided tape in various locations at the edges and still cant get it to be flush.

Does the ****** / JBSpeed Aero lip just have bad fitment or did I just happen to get a bad batch? I know that the OEM has better edges and indentations for the double sided tape but the vendors tell me most people never have fitment issues.

Is there anything else I can do besides glueing it (BetaLink)? Anyone have positive feedback for these aftermarket Aero Lips???

Thanks to all who reply!

Bad fitment. I have the same problem on mine. Both sides come a little short on the bumper ends and I cant seem to get it to sit flush with the air dam.

Mines a ******** lip.

Most reps have fitment problems, perhaps a professional body shop could help you out?
