Invader FB Doesnt fit! :( pics, pics up. Options

[mgnt232]

Ok I dont have much experience in "body work". But I know enough to do this. I installed the rear and it was no problem really had to fill a small gap, shave off a little, I mean I know how to do this. And the SS are fitted now, just not installed.
Size of the original high beam and how much needed to be cut out (the whole still is not even big enough as there is not enough just straight up material to cut off.

Pass- The curve of the low beam is very different from the kit, and allows it only to close that much while the other side looks like the pic below this one-

getting as close as I can (alos bolted one side after this and still no luck)

Showing the top, its about 3" away from being able to bolt in anywhere on top, and it can be pushed in because of the high beams not fitting, kit not being wide enough and the different shape of the low beams


So I was trying to get the FB fitted, and the damn thing just doesnt fit! I even took off the crash bar to see if it would help and it didnt . It looks like the whole thing is just to small! The high beams holes were about 1 1/2"too small so I cut it out and they still, well everywhere! it just doesnt fit, the low beams are too high and the kit covers 1/4 of them..... also at doesnt even reach the 5 bolt holes under the hood

I dont know what to do? Should i bring it to a body place? I mean I feel pretty confident it just doesnt! fit. (idk what they could do at a body shop... or should I try to return it?
I will post pics in a few mins, but idk what to do very upset

Perhaps if you want a kit that is going to fit right the first time you shouldn't have purchased an eBay special. Did you think that the $150 bumper was going to be a perfect fit? Go fork out some real money for the REAL Veilside kit and stop complaining.

lol I knew it wasn't going to fit great, but everyone else I asked (asked alot of people on here) said that it was not the greatest but it worked and i saw alot of pics and none look as bad as mine. Mine is like defective lol. Just going to buy another.
