There is a gap, but you can ajust it by either bending the mounting tabs or elongating the holes in the tabs and using screws with nuts on them instead of the plastic push fasteners. You can get it to fit really well if you spend a little extra time. I'm not finished with mine yet. I am going to have to repaint the grill opening . The old grill rubed through the clear coat. I think it looks very good even though I still have some tuning to do.
