that looks absolutely terrible.

i think it's time to play the blame game:

- blame the installer, because from those pics it seems that he doesn't know what he was doing.
- blame the replica lip spoiler, because it sounds like fitment is not spot on like the real deal.
- blame yourself, because you chose to buy a replica spoiler and cheap-out on a half-assed hack job pretending to be an install.

find yourself a reputable shop to correct your issues, and let this be a lesson learned.

I would be really mad at this point. But there really is no point with the blame game now. It the end, it's you who has to pay for the "mistakes" Projectdna is correct, you get what you pay for. What did you expect if they were only going to charge you $20 for the install?

Curious as to how you found this shop? Was it recommended to you? It seems like they didn't know what they were doing. Seems they used too much "glue" from the pics. When they used the 3m tape, did they use the type with the red back (industrial strength-holds up to 5lbs)?

Anyways, good luck and keep us posted on the outcome.

1st, for $20, you can't expect much from that.
2nd, paint and install should be around $200-$300
3rd, 3m 2 side tape should do the job, unless the fittment is really bad. (I use 3m tape for my wald spoiler.)
4th, if I see that glue on my car, I would be so **** at them, and take them that get it fix.
5th, after all those, I don't think I want them to install anything for our car.

GL man!!!!!
