When I had my invader kit put on and painted, the body shop left a few gaps that I don't like. Mainly 1/4 - 1/2 in. gaps around all of the lights. They put washers on the headlight bolts to move them forward more, but there is still a big gap. What can I do about this? The black rubber pieces around the lights won't even cover th gaps. It's just as bad on the rear lights also. There is about a 1/4 in gap at the bottom of each taillight. Does anyone have any advice? Please help.

what my bodyshop did for this problem was put masking tape around the inside and extended the light ports with fiberglass. sand and paint to match and ur good to go!

Yeah, the low beams fit nice and i put the rubber outside so its flush with the bumper, but the high beams i have gaps. Happens in both Invader front ends i've had.

Yes i think we all had that problem. What i did was fill in the gap completely with bondo, sand it down to that eautiful curve, then i cut reall slowly around the lamp in case they have to come out in the future, and ordered brand new rubber seals from the toyota factory.. looks great, same thing for the turn signals, they were the hardest..
