How bad is the gap? (Brabus Style Front Lip)

I got a Brabus Style CF Front Lip, and went to a professional store to get it installed, they showed me that there is a tiny gap there and there isn't much they can do to fix it, the photo was taken when the guy is holding the lip with his hand. What do you guys think? Think it will be noticeable after installing with 3M tape/Screws and when it is lower on the ground?

This is the gap, also the store sent me the wrong tow hook size, so i have to tilt it to avoid hitting the bumper. I am exchanging a longer one and it will look alright

Looks fine for the price you paid for a BRABUS STYLE lip.

You have to take fitment with a grain of salt on all aftermarket parts, especially when your buying knock offs.


IMO that is more than acceptable

Stick a rubber gasket or similar there and you'd never know

I suggest to apply silicone sealant (black color) all over the lip connection place to bumper, similar to sealing tile corners.
Look here:

can't really tell especially with your car being black. take some pics further out to see the whole front also in sunlight
