Rear GFX lip gaps... BEWARE OF CARTECH AUTOBODY in TORONTO
Hi all,
I just had my GFX rear installed on my 06 IS350. I noticed gaps around the rear sides (about half a cm). I talked to the guy and he said he tried everything to get the gap small. He said that this could be because since the car aged, so has the plastic so the fitment might not be perfect.
Can anyone chime in on this? Do you think I can buy some double sided tape and put it in the gap to try and close it? What's the recommended double sided tape?
thanks!

You have to reinstall the kit. It was not properly installed... Tell him to follow exactly how the instruction shows and before tightening the bolts, it must be perfectly aligned. The kit does not have any gap whatsoever.. I had to reinstall mine twice to get it perfect
And lol noway the plastic can age like that and give that big of a gap difference....
