VIS explains it all...
it's definitely the lip!!!
You get what you paid for... nothing you can really do about it

If you don't stare at it too long and see what's wrong... It looks good

Fitment looks awfully loose on the sides as well... like it's about an inch too wide or so

dosent look warpped, looks kinda like an optical illusion ......the top of the lip down to the part that sticks out looks even all the way across.....i think that where the lip cuts in to make room for the muffler just makes it look warped ......take a tape measure and measure from the top of the lip to the part that stick out all the way across see if its the same distance .....if it gradually gets to be a smaller distance then its warpped or a bad mold....thats my sugestion
