I got mine and the gap between the taillight and garnish is triple on the passenger what it is on the drivers.
The bottom tab on the passenger side isn't even close to lining up. I had a chance to get my money back and wish I had.

JDM guy made me do it.

post some pics of the gap. I didnt have any prob once i got the hatchback garnish.
I will install my garnish this weekend just to make sure proper fitment... If they made them all from the same mold as ra65_22re there should be no problem with fitment... redface.gif

It is a little less than that about .120" passenger side .06" drivers side, it is not really noticable from
a distance.

Edit: I don't wish I had taken my money back I like it, but I don't like the fact it is off center.
I will probably mod it a little to make it line up better.

I just got mine and I made sure to let the seller know that I have a hatchback. But since I'm still in WA visiting family and my car is still in Africa, I won't know if it's the right fit until I get over there next month.

Has anyone had any problems with the fitment after ra65_22re's admustments? Anyone with a hatchback in the Tri-Cities that is willing to let me match it up? Or I could look for one in a shopping center parking lot and try to hold it up to the original garnish. laugh.gif

But it looks and feels really good!

I was actually just working on mine last night - I'll post pictures up at the end of the week when the damn in-laws get back from Cancun with my camera. But I've had it mounted no problems; the only issue I ran into was I had to go in and manually shave out the mounts for the tab thingys on the back and clean up around the area where the plate lights sit. But as for fitment; it looks AWESOME! I can't wait to finish tonight/tomorrow. smile.gif
