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.
Thank you sir! :023:Quote:

And thank you too.i just went back to look,almost a page full of them...Quote:

Mind you I don't daily drive it, but no stress cracks or any of that. You can see the after pics here
