How did you guys get rid of the gaps on the Steeda grille delete? When facing the car, the right side is fine. The left side has a 1/8" gap starting at the corner. I have tried double sided tape, it works for a few days, then the gaps reappear.

No problem here with the Steeda kit. Fits perfectly with no gaps for 6 months now. Maybe try wiping down the surfaces with alcohol or something to make sure that the tape adheres properly.

I thought the Steeda kit came with double sided tape specifically to get rid of that problem?
I used double sided tape, no gap at all.

I didn't use any tape of any sort... it will settle down in about 2 weeks.

Try Clear Sillacone and Duct tape it down untill it cures!
That should take care of the problem

I installed the same grill delete about a year ago and no problems. Call steeda and tell them about your dilemma. It should fit with no gaps...

I just installed one a week ago, it fits flat on the bottom where the tape is, but where there is no tape in the corners there is an equal 1/8 gap on both sides.
