best way to fill gap?

1602 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  rph
i have a new rear bumper cover and it has a rather large gap(around 1") between it and the body. What is the best way to fill this so that it does crack or separate..
should i make the bumper and the body one piece or should i just build out the bumper cover to meet the body?

Is the bumper fill panel still tack welded to the body beneath the tailights? That's what is supposed to fill in that space. I would definitley not attach the bumper to the body of the car unless you go with the fiberglass bumper covers that I see on MSA's catalog. I believe that filler panel can be gotten still. Mine's rotted to **** and back and needs replacement. The fill panel actually goes right up to the rear bumper and just a bit above it so they are not touching. Hope this helps!

if u wanna fill a gap for structural purposes i suggest u use fiber glass, if its just so it looks good use body filler, for smaller dents use puddy. But since its a hole u need a base, use duck tape or something hard but light as a base to start off.
well i have no bumper.. its the body kit from msa the one that goes over all bumpers.
its fiber glass.. but there is a gap between it and the car body.. not a perfect fit.. but its too big i think to just fill with e-6000 epoxy like they say.
i dont want to leave a big gap there it will look stupid..
and i think it would make sense to not permantly attach the kit to the car with fiberglass.. so should i just build more onto the body kit to fill the gap..

fiberglass would be my material of choice. im sorry i dont have pics of it..
i need to get a camera.
