Mine fits great and so does wickedik's. Pictures don't lie, and these all came from the exact same mold.

Here are some pictures from the first wing that I received. You can see that both the short pieces over the lights are curved such that they don't fit the profile of the fender. The body guy I had look at the side pieces thought that if he sanded down the bottoms to match the curve then the heights wouldn't match between the side and middle pieces. He figured he'd have to both sand and fill the parts to make them look right.
The piece in the center is short, just like HipHopPro's and it doesn't fit very well. I don't have it centered in the picture. My body guy also said he could get the gap to look better, but of course it would take time to add material and reshape it to make it look right. You can also see how rough the ends are which will need to be sanded down to make them square which will take off even more material.
The new and improved wing I received wasn't much different. I'm no body guy, but I'm going to see if I can get it closer by myself before I call the guy I'm going to have paint and install it. My time is a lot cheaper than his and if I mess it up then oh well.

I see your install problems. Move the outer pieces lower onto the taillight and also in more towards the center to where the outer pieces hang over the gap. Middle piece needs to go more towards the back as well.
Don't sit these pieces on top of the trunk lid/fender. Sit them closer to the edge.
