I just got my 96 front last week and when i put it on i have this huge gap in front, does it have like a rubber lining in between ...i dont remember

i used to have a 94 front...then i got into an accident , then i had the invader front....but fiberglass is a bad idea for everyday driving so now im getting the 96 front lips...

anyways im taking it to my toyota dealer this wed, i get an employee discount so i should get a good deal....

Yes, there is a rubber seal that goes between the bumper and the hood.
I'm pretty sure that's what that gap is. It's about an 1/8"-1/4" gap right?

Most likley thats what hes talking about, I got a 96+ on my 95 and it fits fine with the rubber seal in there.
