It's not sitting flush. I know the alignment of the nose changed ever so slightly after the accident, so there's not a lot to do there. It will easily push into place, but it won't stay. Tacky tape didn't even keep it in place. So how can I get it to stay put, nice and flush. If I'd have thought about it I'd have had it cut and molded in while the body work was happening.

*edit* Forgot to mention that I am going to pull it tomorrow and open the bolt holes up for a little bit of adjustment.

looks like you have to sand that corner to get a more right angle or if thats not the case you would have to widen your bracket holes so you can push it in more. After thats corrected, to get it to hug to the body, you can use some type of filler such as fiberglass or that foam and flatten it out on the back of the splitters so that way, you can apply doublesided tape. To explain this more, the replicas, cave in on the backside and does not support the doublesided tape border/edge as OEM.
