However, I take on projects with more of a custom approach than most people anyways. For example, when I installed our urethane roll pan on my Titan I removed the factory back up sonars and molded them into the roll pan. It was a pretty simple affair really, simply found my desired mounting location, grabbed the whole saw and cut it out. Then filed in the corners to accept the clips and it was done, only took about an hour to do all four.

In regards to the 3 piece design. That was done to reduce shipping costs. It is actually VERY easy to fill that gap in someone's driveway if they are willing to take on a custom project in their driveway for a couple hours on a weekend. The gap is very small however it is not invisible if you don't fill it. We do provide a two part epoxy that is very easy to work with and use to fill that gap. I actually would not recommend bondo. Bondo does not stick very well to urethane and if not done professionally has a very good chance of seperating later on.

Basically, when you get your fascia, sand down the edges of the two mating surfaces. make sure you scuff it up well enough to get rid of any shine in this area. If it's shiny, it won't stick...simple as that! Don't worry about sanding too much as you are going to fill that area, just give it a nice radius and a good surface to adhere to. Once you have prepped the area, insert the provided nuts and bolts in to the structural support area on the rear flange. Now, mix the supplied two part epoxy and pour it into the channel and spread evenly. You will only have about 15-20 minutes before it sets up so you don't want to waste your time but at the same time, 15 minutes is more than enough time to complete this. Once you have put enough epoxy in the gap, tighten down the bolts holding the corners together. Once these bolts are tight it should squeeze some epoxy out. Take some of that epoxy and blend it back over the top of the line. Let it sit for about an hour or two so that it is hard enough to work with. Once it has entirely set up, simply sand down the epoxy to smooth out any bumps.

At this point you can call the project finished, or you can take one extra step if you're a perfectionist. If it were my personal vehicle, I would let the epoxy set up for a couple of days and let the fascia rest in the corner of my garage. Sitting on the bottom, not the corners. Sometimes epoxies and urethanes can shrink and this shrinkage can pull back into the gap a little bit. Most people will never see it, but if you're a perfectionist, you'll look for it. So, after you've let the fascia rest for a few days come back to it and inspect it. If the epoxy has shrunk, simply mix a small batch of epoxy and blend it across that line. You may or may not need to sand it down again. This is just a final detail touch. Like I said, most people won't need to worry about it.

This whole process from start to finish will probably take you 2-3 hours. If you're a professional who has done this type of work before, more along the lines of 2 hours. This really is a very easy project.

Once the fascia has been prepared, make sure your painter uses primer!!! They will tell you that they use an "adhesion promoter" for urethane parts...Adhesion promoter does not work as well as primer. USE PRIMER!!!
