I had this same problem with my 2nd one. The first one that I ordered from AM looked like the original lip from a Mach, with the textured look, and it fit great. That one decided to take flight on the interstate one day.
The 2nd one, which is now a shiny, fake looking piece of plastic, fits like **** and I wasn't happy with it at all. Its just not as noticeable on my car because it's black, but you can definitely tell on white. I would ask them about it and show them the pictures.

I feel your pain... i mounted mine flush to the lip... and guess what... one side is flush to the fender and the other side has about an inch gap... I said eff it... it's impossible to see both sides of the car at the same time :-P

Wow that would be nice. Yeah I am just frustrated that it doesnt fit correctly and I also dont like the fake shiny crap material. I want the older textured one. I am going to call AM tomorrow.

I like your logic.
@OP: You're doing it wrong.

Mrsinister thats quite an assumption to make considering you dont know me lol. I am doing it right, and almost positive the spoiler is the wrong length or got made wrong. I tried it twice and its still not right.

Defconfire, I definitely looked at that. Guys, I am not a noob when it comes to installing things as simple as this. I know how the spoiler should fit and how it should look. My intentions in posting this is to see what everyone else would do if they thought that their spoiler was faulty.
