Default Grills from advan-emotion.com

ok i order my new grill from Advan-Emotion. i took the old ones off while i was installing my new lights on my car and then i wanted to pop the new grills in. that part went fine. till i put my bumper back on my car and seen the the upper grill is not fitting well.

Here is the left side gap


right side gap


and here is the full front. as you can see it looks fine till you get up close


anyone know how to fix this. as they said i installed it wrong as i never used screws.

They should be just snapped on. VRD used to sell these years ago and the only thing I remember some people having problems were with the lower grill not staying on period. Other than that they should just snap into place. If not then it's either a manufacturer defect, incorrect install or some how your bumper was warped. Try again to adjust to see if you can fix the issue. If not call them again explaining detail by detail how they are installed and how it does not properly fit.

see thats what i did i poped my old one out and popped the new one in and then i emailed them asking why i had a gap they told me i installed them wrong and i needed to use screws and to loosen the screws to move it in place....

and when i asked them what screws they where talking about they said here is a label so you can send the item back for a full refund.. so there not willing to help out nore send me a new top.

It's a cheap grill. Live with the gap or send it back.

I ordered mine from eBay, although I got the black set. The bottom won't stay in, so I got a 08+ grille. Never had an issue with the top.
