Type S Aspec front lip gap
I installed the type s aspec front lip 24 hours ago and there are 1-2mm gaps at the corners above the fog lights. Did anyone else have this issue? It looks like the tape that came with it is crap so the front edge of the tape on the side of the bumper isn't completely sticked on. Should i use some silicone adhesive to fill it in? if so, black or clear?

Also, is it ok to wash my car now that it's been 24 hours? Or should I wait longer?
Thanks!

I have to take off the bumper again to install my CAI when it arrives, so maybe I'll replace the crappy tape. So I just put a line of tape along the entire lip?

I'm on vacation right now, but I'm going to see if I can make any adjustments to get rid of the gaps when I take the bumper off to installcmy CAI when I get home. Last resort will be the sealant to keep water out. But since it's an oem lip it really should sit flush

Screws on the ends? Do you mean the tabs? There weren't any holes in the lip that matched up with anything on the fender liner so I just slid the fender liner behind the lip

are you saying you didnt use the brackets on the 2 ends of the lip? they come with the lip and clip onto the fender liner. there are 2 holes on the bracket on each side to screw the lip on. it helps "pull" the lip back so it sits tight

Oh yea I used those brackets. I don'tbsee how those are adjustable though since the brackets have a fixed spacing.
