Bumper "sealant"/filler
Hey everyone I installed my evo-r carbon fiber lip yeaterday and of course theres some fitment issues I'm wondering if there is a type of black sealant that I could buy to somewhat fill the gap. 1. To fill the gap and 2. to hide gray colored tape.
Another question that I had is if there is a type of sealant that won't do gnarly damage to my bumper if I ever do decide to take this piece off. Thanks ahead of time

Actually not a bad idea...its weather proof, black, and flexible...

I suffer the same issue with the front lip. On my old eclipse I had a wings west front lip and actually used silicon, but it was on a black car as well so it didn't really stick out a whole lot.
To be honest, I think the best thing would be to have it molded to the car eventually, but that would best be done with a one piece. |

I'll come clean with you friend...I don't see anything that I would give thumbs down. It looks perfectly fine to me. If you hadn't mentioned "theres some fitment issues", I wouldn't have noticed.
Then again, I=n00b. And if you are trying to impress some fine-detail enthusiasts...well, my opinion is like me trying to resist donuts. Pointless |

Hey everyone thanks for your replies, I ended up using black silicone caulking and I think that it worked perfectly. There were some areas where it got a bit messy but I was surprised at how easily I was able to peel it off when it dried. I'll try to get some pics up later to show how it came out, but then again thanks

Maybe you meant "trunk" not "truck"?
