ASPEC Rear Lip Kit - ISSUE

Ok, just finished installing the rear ASPEC lip on an 07 Base TL. But for some reason I cant get it to line up properly (see pictures). Is there supposed to be that much of a gap or am I just not doing it correctly. I tried to tighten it as much as I could - but the rear lip continues to sag down compared to the stock bumper.

PLZ HELP!!!!

PS>>>Sorry about the dirty car.

I will try to get a better picture.

But isnt it supposed to be at the same level as the stock bumper? Or is it normal to be a little bit below?

Thanks ahead of time.

You have it right. It is normal for it to be a little lower. Make sure that you wash your bumber before you install to make sure you have a good clean surface to affix the bumper to. Use some rubbing alcohol to clean it up.

I second that it need to be right below the line of the cover. Yours looks perfect!

Yep, the only thing I can see wrong is that it looks like your installing adhesive on dirty parts.

i just installed mines bout 2 weeks ago.. the markings of where to drill are exact on the bumper and there's nothing wrong with yours, there's really not a wrong way to do it if you follow the instructions correctly and pretty much straight foward, my back lip looks the same way. Great job on the install!
