That's not uncommon for these aftermarket pieces. I've never seen/used RW Carbon before, but even Vorsteiner aftermarket parts didn't always fit 100% on my past vehicles -- that's why I always have professional body shops always install aftermarket parts because usually something has to be fabricated / drilled / adjusted to make these parts fit properly.

Bottom line -- I'd probably recommend you pay a professional body shop that has experience with CF and aftermarket parts to do the install. This is the case with even Ferrari aftermarket parts.

I would have expected it to come with instructions and all parts required to install.
i hope it was an oversight on their part and they will send me the instructions and any missing hardware required to finish the install.

Sounds like the three pieces connect together and two screws per piece and you supply the 3M tape. I bought the AMG from splitter and it had tape and it was three pieces as well. I bought my own screws, I believe it was like 12 all under the bottom.

i spoke with them and they recommended attaching more screws and not using 3m tape. kind a crappy to pay $800 and they don't even include all the screws they recommend to use....

I only had 6 screws in the box. when I called it was recommended to use at least 12 screws. if that is your recommendation you should include them in your box. Also you should have some type of instructions in your box.
