so anyways im installing my wing. and it doesnt fit!!! AHHH its too tall and its missing like 1/5 inch from both sides. im not concerned about the width part but the wing being too tall really pisses me off.

i thought renova auto was supposed to have a "100%" fit product.

anyways im not gonna abandon them now, but what should i do about it? its been painted already so i dont just want to send it back. i know it was stupid to just let the auto body guys paint it before the test fit but i trusted renova auto. should i just take some sand paper and start sanding? comon guys i need helpppp

ALSo, i used some of that sticky foam tape stuff, so would that be throwing it off? should i take that stuff off and try again?

thats for the part that sticks out, they they are pre modded.

do you guys think i should just go ahead and shave it myself? or should i have a shop do it...

if i shave it down do i have to repaint it?

i'm pretty sure i got the renova wing as well and i shaved my sides down and it fit perfectly well.. if you don't shave it.. it fits like crap.. all sticks in the air and stuff.. show us some pics of your fit.. maybe we can tell what the problem is from there.
