Soccerman002 That guy is a memeber on here maybe he'll see this and let us know if theres a gap it looks good but its not agressive it just finishs the bumper since ours have that unfinished look
03-04 Cobra front lip vs. 03 Mach 1 lip?

THERE IS A GAP! These are not uncharted waters. Unequivocally, both lips have a gap.
If I had to guess, that guy started the install on the driver's side corner rather than in the middle, so there is no gap on the driver's side, but a reasonably large gap on the passenger's side. If you look at the straight on pic, you can clearly see a gap on the passenger side.
Believe me, I even tried heating up the lip with a hair dryer to get it to stretch and, although that helped, you still end up with a gap. It's just the nature of fitting a lip on a bumper for which it is not designed.

I'm seriously considering having my buddy who is good w/ fiberglass make one up for me similar to the Mach 1 piece; heck might even help out a bit at speed on the road course 
Someone mentioned a company that makes them - I heard of this too but I've never found them. Sure would be a great niche for someone to fill, or if someone has already, advertise on SVT sites!

These are the best side shots I could find. there was about 1.5" gap on both sides maybe a hair less. looked perfectly fine imo

No huge gap here
Looks like you've got a nice bulge/deformity in the lip though, not sure which is worse, that or a slight gap.
Doesn't bother me. You can't notice it unless your exactly on the angle I shot that photo.
There has been something I have always liked about the Mach 1 chin :rollseyes
