'06 DS Rocker Panel and Kick Plate Install Issues

Again, do I have a bad reseller, a bad cut/product, or perhaps I am missing something.

Any help would be appreciated as I was really hoping to dress up the cart a bit for the 4th and now I fear I've struck out.

Thanks,

Okay, I am back to looking at the kickplate now that the rocker panels are done.

I attached three photos of the cart to the post. One shows the cart as is with the metal piece, screw heads, and the slightly beveled body (please excuse the water droplets as I just hosed it down). The second shows the kickplate put in place flush with the for, note the gap at the top due to the beveled body and screws. The third is with the kickplate located above the bevel so that it rest flat with the body. This looks odd as there is metal, then body, then the kickplate.

Here is the YouTube video which may show the body flare/bevel a little better.

I have emailed the store of purchase (a forum sponsor) asking for clarification or a return and have not received a response (close to 10-days now).

Thanks for looking and any help is appreciated.

Sorry, I couldn't get them all in one post due to a lack of bandwidth.
