let me ask this instead

was the lip bent in half in the box that you got it in?

because usually you need to leave it overnight for a day or two, possibly heating it up as well, for it retain it's proper shape.

when I got my ww pieces back from the paint shop they had been hanging on a workhorse overnight, so I had to do this to get them back to the normal shape.

also, when it's actually fitted onto the car you realize it's going to be pretty tight on there, so that area might give up that slack from it being mounted against the bumper.

when my older bro got his front kit for his sc300 we had to leave it out in the sun for a few hours for it to get its original shape..we also live in tampa so im sure the florida heat had alot to do wit it

I always wanted a horse.

I don't blame you. If I opened up the box and saw that, I would think it was defective too. Except I would have irrationally called BaysonR and politely posed the query, WTF?
