thats a big gap right there. i'm planning to order one but if this shows that gap then VG will be useless and will just act as more drag.....

As far as that goes I only had to sand one of the corners where it connects to the bumper and goes under the body kit. In their defense I do have the OEM body kit so I’m not sure if the rear diffuser was designed to fit under the aero OEM rear panels. I’m sure you won’t need any modifications if you don’t have the aero kit. Here’s a picture of where you will find points that won’t match perfectly with the oem mounting points on the vehicle. You’ll have to find a way to secure them to the body of the car, I used the heavy duty zip ties to hold mine together. You will also need some longer screws to replace the tiny screws that come with the Diffuser on some spots since they won’t reach when you’re trying to put the bumper and diffuser together.

No problem, after all isn’t that what this forums are all about I just bought two different types of rubber weather strip on JC Whitney. I should have them next week and will install to see if it looks cleaner than what I have now. If it looks better I’ll post a link for anyone interested on fixing the gap on the APR VG’s.

what if you removed some of the material from the antenna would that fix the gap, or is it just the slope of the piece to the roof line that is in correct
