He means filling the gaps like shown in the post above. I think it looks very clean.

it looks nice and clean on the photoshop that was done, but I think it would look better on a Trans Am front bumper.

I Like it, try it out and let us know.
Seemslike it would be costly cause after you mold it you gotta re paint the bad boy.
GOOD LUCK.

i saw a v6 locally that had that done. looked much better. i would be concerned with how it would last. any flex in the bumper would crack the filler i would think

damn that looks sweet, i might end up having to do that on my t/a before i paint the bumper, what do you think would handle the most flex? ive used that new bondo ultimate and it works pretty good. But maybe ill go get some dyna delite and use that.

fiberglass will crack with a little bit of flex...they make a urethane based body filler which is what i used on my camaro for the holes in the bumper after i removed the grill...and not to ***** my bitch or anything but i did the rear side markers aswell..
