EM1 Rear Lip before and after install
hey guys i have an EM1 and recently bought a new rear bumper from honda to get painted. i got the bumper fresh from the body and installed my rear lip. i noticed their is a small gap right in the middle area. when i first installed my lip there was never any problems and no gap. i took it all out and re-installed it but same thing
my question is: is there any type of order to screw down the bolts or it doesn't really matter? that gap is really getting annoying. thanks guys!

well, a general way of screwing bolts in is this:
go diagonally, and keep loose and tighten each evenly.
in this case, its not a matter of diagonally. So, i'd put them all in and just screw them all in enough to stay, but not tight. Once they are all in, then work from the far left, then far right, and move your way in. Just don't tighten one all the way, then the next. Slowly tighten them. I hope that helps!

without a pic I cant say for sure, but it sounds like you need to appy some more 3m double sided tape if its pulling away at the top edge from the bumper.
