well for one thing, you DID buy ebay lips... for me theyve been hit or misses, so im not surprised that the fitment isnt that great if thats what you're asking about..

what i did is that for the front, i used self taping screws from underneath and just used double sided tape for the rear,

from what i can see it looks good already...

Well the front fits excellent, its the rear that has little gaps. As for the tape, i imagine if you used like acetone or gas the tape might come off easier. Thx for the tip

Not in my experience. And I've used a lot of double-sided tape.
