An OEM Ap1 lip is pretty rare these days. Especially in good shape.

OP buy some of the OEM weather stripping and put it in there. It should help close that gap up some. I also feel like the lip is hanging to low. You may want to remove it and position the front so it is over the middle grill part then fasten down the side parts.

Wow, you're absolutely right. I checked it after work today and there was about 1" of gap between the bottom of the bumper corners and the bottom of the lip corners. And that explains why the brake duct flaps don't want to stay in. Should be an easy fix. Thank you!

I used 3m double tape which held it too the bumper perfectly. For a more clean look over . weatherstripping. Here's mine.

You can get the 3m double sided trim tape at any auto parts store like Autozone or Advance--runs about $5-6 roll. Works great--it's what all the OEMs use to hold molding and badges on.

Here's the installation instructions for the 2000-2003 OEM lip---May help you position it correctly if you decide to remove and reinstall it--

Thanks, I appreciate it! Might be attempting this in the next couple of days. I took a look at it this past weekend, and I think the way they installed it initially is preventing it from being positioned correctly now (the center under tabs are holding it too far down the car). I also may just bring it back to them with a picture of how it's supposed to look and ask them to fix it.

I'm curious of the outcome. I highly considered this lip, when I assumed it fit perfectly. Not so sure now.
