Being it fiberglass fitment might be off that a given most bodyshop can try there best. But that gap between the bottom door and the side rocker itself need to transfer over the weather strip.

Since it's a replica of an ings, most never fit perfect. Is there any way you can raise the center part? Looks like the front and rear are on ok.

Looks like you just forgot to move the weather strip from the oem sides to these.

I'm pretty most if not all aftermarket side rocker have that gap. That the point of using the weather strip. Look at the pic on this link everyone has the gap with weather strip showing. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...e-1-a-130.html

No, it shouldn't. Like everyone has stated, it's common with reps.
