Hi "TheSalmon" welcome to the forum...and congrats on your first post
Your picture did not come through (it's best to use the forum based picture uploader for stills and use links only for videos like youtube content etc..) but I think I know what you are looking at. That said I've added a picture below that better shows the section I think you are referring to. And you'll see that the spoiler is sitting flush with the bumper as it should be. However there is indeed a gap or opening on the inner fender. Anyhoo hope this helps Ps- If you were referring to something else please let me know and I will be sure to take the matter up with the installer and get him to correct it ASAP....... .....just as soon as my Son gets back from his college weekend with his fraternity Last edited by chenry; 10-23-2020 at 07:00 PM.. |

That gap comes with the aftermarket lips, I believe on the original its filled in.
That gap got to me so I fabricated two pieces to fill it in. Ill attach some pictures. Don't know why its sideways. |

I used the two extra pieces that came with the kit that most don't use which I believe are called the splinters? I traced the open area with a piece of painters tape to use as a template.
Then used a scroll saw to cut the pieces and sanded the edges. Used the non glossy part to show. |

What I received from IKON
Hope this helps ps- for reference here is a diagram from the install manual of the oem front lip - you can see that even with the oem the brackets are seperate |

Chenry, I’m trying to install right now but fitment seems tight. I really have to push up on the middle and the holes don’t align with the center holes under the bumper. Did you use self tapping screws to secure the middle?

Not sure if you were able to get the car up in that air but for me I know my fit wouldn't have been as good if I didn't have a second set of hands and a lift. And like you said the price is right, I consider it a throw away part and figure I'll be putting a new one on in 18 months or so after this one is sufficiently scraped up |
