They look good from a normal distance and the overall fit seems acceptable, but the finish of the splitter itself along some of the upper edges in the close-ups does not appear to be totally consistent or of OEM standard... or is this to be expected from 'copies'? I don't want to be an ass, but rule #1 when I buy stuff for my car is that it has to look OEM

When I was test fitting mine, I realized you had to start with the outside corner and slide it on working your way to the center of the bumper. Seems like this poster started from the inside of the bumper and worked his way outside. This wont line the splitters up correctly and youll get the gap you see in this pic.

thank you HyperM3, you are right, even with the OEM it is important you start from the outside in or the splitter won't be installed properly and you will have a space like the one there.
