From what I hear, once you bolt the 3 pieces together you can barely see the line of separation. You add the epoxy simply to fill the line and smooth everything out. It holds nothing in place and there's a bunch of bolts holding the pieces together so they don't really move apart. Meh, I personally wouldn't even bother filling in the lines.

or you can do it that way... just dont fill the gap that way no worries of hairline crack later on...

Simota- You might be surprised actually. I've done a lot of work with urethane over the years and I am confident that this won't have any hair line cracks if the materials are simply prepared correctly. And really, by that, all I mean is scuffed/sanded thoroughly before filling. I know what you mean about the possibility of time taking its toll and flex potentially damaging the gap, however, I would be really surprised if that happened considering how much of the fascia is fastened together with hardware, and when attached with hardware, how rigid that joing actually is.

I plan on putting this fascia on our race car that we will be building soon and I will be blending that line and I am very confident that it will hold up fine, if it can hold up on a race car, it can hold up on a street car easily! When it comes to our race cars, we don't treat them like most people treat their race cars. We keep them in pristine condition and regularly hear comments from people questioning if they've ever been raced. Just take a look at our Targa rally GT R! When we displayed it at SEMA last year (just a couple weeks after the New Foundland rally) people were asking if the car had just been freshly painted! No one had any idea it had just run a 5 day rally race.

your right there is hair line cracks were the 3 piece connects.

I would be interested in seeing your fascia. Do you still have it?

Jamaica

no I dont have it. Its been sold. Had to get rid of it because it wasn't worth it trying to fix it multiple times.

do you possibly have pictures of it cracking. Also not calling you a liar so don't take it that way but why didn't you bring it up to stillen about the crack.

As for not putting the glue/filler in the line I don't think I would be interested in doing that since i don't want to be able to see the lines at all.
