Looks like it may be drooping a tad.

Not sure what spoiler that is but I bet you can do some self rigging by getting a drill and drilling a few more screws to hold it up.

from AM... there is double sided tape in the middle. i am thinking i did not push towards motor enough while letting tape stick. Just wondering if that little gap is normal. It seems to be flush with the lower black grill insert... i'm just picky lol Might take off and re do

It took me a few tries to get the center to snap into the stock clips. I had to take off my license plate after my third try. I'm not sure how the 2005-2009 chins are applied.. but I may be worth another try if you don't think it's right. Just get some 3M tape from an auto store and take your time.

Mine has a small gap like that, it's due to the slight differences in curvature between the spoiler and the bumper.

The pics are kind of small, but that gap looks pretty normal is this is a CDC. I will walk and check mine later this morning.

That gap is probably normal but can be fixed. A few extra screws and double sided tape will fix it.

+1 on applying in the cold. Make sure the temp is above 45 when you install
