What to do to fill body kit gaps

[DrunKenG]

I have these finger tip gaps on my body kit rear bumper. Can these be fixed? With what and how long?

Dude, you need to make one thread of your own for all your questions. You are cluttering up the boards with a lot of one off random questions.

wait, you painted your kit before you fitted it? you need body filler and possibly fiberglass. you are supposed get the kit fitted and corrected before you paint.

Lol can't believe you didn't trial fit and align before painting it..... I would never just buy something and fit it up painted,I'll always trial it and make adjustements

exactly. kits don't usually fit perfect right away, they most often have to be "massaged" w/ body filler, trimming, and even additional glassing as well as lots of sanding before they are ready to be primed, painted and installed.

if it were me, i would correct the fitment and gaps then re-paint.

Well .. i ended up fiberglassing the rear gaps...

looks much better this way. I have the same kit on my 8G. And 1st it looked like yours, not very pretty at all. And the shop used some black caulking to fill the gaps in the rear bumper. I had the car completely repainted a couple years later, rear bumper and side skirts "molded" to the car. And it looks flawless, so much better. Mind you I don't daily drive it, but no stress cracks or any of that. You can see the after pics here
