Bumper "sealant"/filler
 
Hey everyone I installed my evo-r carbon fiber lip yeaterday and of course theres some fitment issues :shakes head: 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 :tiphat:

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 :icon17:

I wouldn't suggest using silicone on the bumper unless you want to risk clear coat damage when/if you take the lip off.

If you don't care,

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 :tup:
