Help!! Huge gap after HFP front lip installed!

Ok, here's the deal....I ordered the HFP front lip for my FG2 at Honda of Seattle and got it installed there on Saturday. I noticed this while inspecting the car afterwords...this is the driver side.





They tried to put some 3M double-sided tape in there but that didn't help either.

I'm thinking the front lip could be defective ie. bent out of shape....or it was a shoddy installation. The service manager even told me they don't do too many HFP installs.

They also asked me if the bumper was original...the front bumper is a replacement; the original one was damaged in an accident. As far as I know, it's a Honda OEM part. Therefore, there shouldn't be any difference, right?

Honda of Seattle made an order for another front lip....I told them I wanted to make sure the front lip was NOT defective.

But what do you guys think it could be? Defective front lip, poor installation, or my bumper?
