Sounds like I don't have to tell you what you've already heard. Just FYI, I have always had my shop use some sort of silicone to seal the lip to the vehicle without chance of it falling off, stolen, or seeing gaps like with double stick tape. Good luck and sorry to see you wasted your money.

^ Im not too sure on this but I believe if you called Sewell and order through phone they offer the full GFX Kit. I remember it being at quite a hefty price though ( 300~400 for the front lip, 200 for rear and 200~300 for sides)
EDIT:
I actually just remembered something, If youre a DIY kinda guy or maybe you could ask your next shop to use weather strip to fill in any noticeable gaps. I know even for an Authentic Toms rear it comes with a weather strip to fill in all gaps.

Bring your parts to a quality shop, they'll usually be able to work with crappy parts and make it look good. Crappy shops, like the one you went with, will slap it on haphazardly.

I'm saying that replica kits are not necessarily going to fit well, especially gaudy lip modifications, and combining that with a cheap shop is a surefire way to end up with a crappy fit.

I did this to one of my previous car a few years back, they actually fiber glass the gaps , sanded, prime paint etc etc, the end result was excellent. no gaps whatsoever.
