There's nothing wrong with the lip, only the idiot installing it. As stated above, do it right it's ****, do it wrong it's ******. There's nothing worse than a stupid person putting on a good part then blaming the part. The R lip fits better than 3/4 of the aftermarket lips out there. Anyone that says it gaps or doesn't fit can stare at the proper example of installing it below which looks nothing like 7/8ths of all the pics of this lip I have ever seen. It's one of only 3 examples I have ever seen of it installed correctly. (and it's my old car)

I agree it is not as slickly integrated as say the TRD lip, but "big gaps and holes"...not quite. The RMM is still one of my personal fav's.

yours is deff one of the few that have the lip on right. I had mine like that for about a day but it ended up cracking in the same spot because of the spot the crack is in so I have to have it sitting a little lower then normal =/ still looks decent for a free lip though
