Default Replica type r lip problem

So I'm posting to see if I can get some advice/info on my replica type r lip. I feel like it sags in the middle and is not straight across for some reason. Don't know if I'm explaining this correctly. Thoughts comments to what it could be or is it just me?

It's a replica. That's your problem.

That doesn't negate the fact that your problem stems from the fact that you have a cheap painted replica on your car. You bought it this way?

Unfortunately, that's the problem with replica/aftermarket body parts. They often don't produce the same quality as oem. I've seen countless items not fit properly for one reason or another, when oem always fits with a minimum of fuss.

Replica man. Had the same thing on my first del sol and it was always a little weird looking. Save and budget your money and get a legit OEM lip and do it right.
You get what you pay for.
Doesnt look too bad though

Aftermarket fiberglass parts suck.

Take a look at the body kit on my car if you want to see why.

Definitely save for something OEM or pull something cool at the junkyard and use that.
