Default GP Sport Rear Install

Hey I got my GP Sport rears from MP-Tuning and I checked the fitment and it seems pretty good along the side of the bumper, but the end of it where it wraps around the bumper doesnt want to curve all the way around, it just sticks out. If I push on it, I can get it to fit alongside the bumper flush but I have to put a good amount of pressure on the end.

Did anyone have this problem and how did u fix it?
Any input is appreciated...thx

-Steveo

yeh we'll see, i thought we could sand it, but it just looks like it wont fit cause the gap is pretty big (3/8ths inch)...

I dunno we'll check it on weds. Cool man

You may have to cut it and refiber it to get it to fit perfect. Two Bodyshops in my area confirmed that on the install thats why mines are still sitting in my garage.

you'll have to use a long screw to screw into the bumper to make it fit perfectly... just like the authentic ones that are taking 3 months to get here!!

^ man that does sound like it would work. I was thinking about using polyurathane glue on the parts close to the exhaust tips.
