For those who have the OEM Aero Front Lip..

Does it come with an 'insulation' strip like mine does?

And.. I figured the fitment would be perfect since it is an OEM part but mine has a 3/8" gap on the passenger side and 1/8" gap on the driver
side. Is the dealership using the strip to hide the gap from a faulty install?

Any input would be good. Thanks!

Passenger Side



Driver Side

Mine looks the same as your drive side on both sides, and yes they all have that gasket or insulation strip to prevent debris from getting in there.

It wont matter after 50k miles. That strip will turn black anyways,even
if you try to clean it, It's like a rubber band, it it will sorta decay in time,
Im at 70k mile plus, so I know 1st hand whats going to happen.

wwevoxgsr= The front rubber lip will fall off soon, just letting you know so your not
so surprise when that happen, After the 3rd time that happen to me, I ripped it off and keep it off.
