Did you already paint the car? If so you should of glued the bumper onto the car before painting. I did this once and after I put so many coates of paint on the car things just did not fit right. Hope this helps.

You said that it is a different bumper other than stock, but did it still come with the kit or is it aftermarket. If it is aftermarket it sounds like you will have to mod it. If it came with the kit than I would call the company and complain. Sorry I am probably not much help

Ahhh..... the Vertex FD RX-7... you'll have to do a fair bit of sanding and putty work to get it flush the way you want it. It's not hard but it will be a bit of a PITA. Good luck with it. :)
