Top Secret rear bumper help

Hi guys, i installed my Top Secret kit today, everything was good, front bumper and side fits like a glove, but problem came up when i was installing the rear bumper.
So my problem was, it fits really tight, although i did end up installing it, the rear side(behind the wheels) seems to 'stick out' or in other words, the side of the rear bumper don't stick with my OEM rear.
The OEM kind of curve back and i can't seem to make the TS rear to stick along with the curve... i'll try to post pics.. i dunno how else i can explain it. So does anyone with the Authentic TS rear bumper have the same problem too? what did you use to make it stick to the OEM? sealer? Thanks guys.


UPDATED PICS









What i did.....

Lol.. Take Weiboy's advice.. He knows what's up.

He installed his own AIT TS rear which I'm sure has more fitment issues than the authentic TS kit would have.

LOL! Thanks for the advice guys. Weiboy718 i used what Top Secret gave me, thinking it will probably do the job, because its well.. Top Secret anyway, but i guess 3M will be better.. and i don't have any access to blue tapes.. So yeah, i used what i had haha i know it looks ghetto haha

And RYs06MT, the car is actually pretty dirty, i plan to detail it after i get this kit installed, and waiting for the raining season to pass too.. i'll make a new thread on the kit i guess, so you guys can see it(although its probably just the same as any other haha)
