Default Warped OEM GFX Front Lip?

I ordered a GFX front lip from Sewell, and i think it came warped. There is a just off center of the lip and it creates a gap right where the bend is. Maybe i'll post a picture later.

I checked my install twice i don't think there is supposed to be a bend in the lower lip. I was so excited about the lip I just mounted it anyway, bend or no bend. But now i'm starting to think i should have contacted Sewell about this?

Has anybody else had any experience with warped front lips? or did i just get a damaged one....

pictures will help. Many members have seen a gap at the corner between the new lip and the bumper, not sure if this is the same thing.

If it really is a warp, give sewell a call and they'll probably send you a new one or something

Are you absolutely sure you installed it properly? For example, you will hear a click if the clips are properly secured. If yes then ask for a replacement.

I spoke with Darrel from Sewell and he was extremely helpful. I guess this part was just a defective part, hes shipping me a new one today. Even agreed to cross ship the new part.

Sewell has won me as a customer.
