Genuine Toyota bug shield hood deflector protector (pics)

I just got this in from Garm.
Pluses:
It DOES look cool.

It's sturdy and does'nt flex or shift around.

A quality built product that's made in Canada!

All adhesive bumpers and paint guards are 3M.

Minuses;
Insallation takes patience and accurate measuring with a ruler. Many small parts.

Kinda wedges between the front nose cap of the car and the hood tightly. You have to raise the bump stops under the hood.

Part under the hood rubs paint (see pics).

This looks great on but I'm trying to figure out if I did something wrong as to make the underside of the protector's plastic rub off the paint. Also the protector tends to "shoehorn" between the body and the hood.

I'd like to hear from other owners of this part to see if they have similar issues,,,,,
