Mine arrived today and I installed them. My only gripe is my left outer lens is not quite lined up flush on bumper..I think my oem was same way since I had my bumper repainted and it could be off a little. They look amazing. I used factory gasket seals and they went on perfectly and already broken in so why not. I hand tightened all the bolts with the 10mm socket. .no ratchet. I'll be watching for water very closely.
No pics yet. I spent a good portion of my evening taking off my 22s and putting on my 19s since I got a flat on my rear 305/25/22 tire. Hole looks unrepairable and on the eve of a road trip..fawk..well at least my 19s will make the road trip smoother...

I have the same issue on both sides. Doesn't line up and is far from oem fit gotta go to work so will deal with it later. I may return them if I can't fix this.

I used the ones from oem..but after this car wash I just had, I saw a few small droplets in the outer edges so I am going to reinstall them with new ones that came with it

Same here! totally flush on the passenger side, but just ever so slightly out on the drivers side indicating a minor imperfection in the mold at the manufacture...

I agree Jitty about the molding process. I know after market is never perfect but this is bad. This is just one area where the fitment is awful. Has anyone had luck contacting Spec-D about this issue?

So I had a few moments on my road trip to break out my ratchet and tighten the bolts down more than what I did hand tightening with just socket..no handle. I got at least 10 to 15 cranks more turns on the bolts but I stopped as soon as I had to put more pressure for fear of breaking them. Plastic and metal don't always like each other. Long story short, that driver side bottom edge did pull in some more but still not flush like passenger side. I can live with it. Not that obvious to the casual lookie loo. So hopefully that will resolve my slight leak issue..we shall see

So after several adjustments, I can't still get my passenger side (top big tail light NOT small piece) to fit flush like the driver side. It's hard to see but if you open the file and highlighted it will give better view. See image for more details. I think this tail lights will look much better if all the LED's activate. I might look into the optional kit that will allow you to have this features. I will look into this item and let you guys know. Overall, is not bad for the low cost upgrade with new look.
Tips: Make sure you mask all around the tail lights when you do this install to prevent scratches.
