Default Trans Am Front bird shave.

Which compound to fill in (shave) the front bird on a Trans Am? I want to do this but forgot what the compound was called?

Are you talking about the one on top of the bumper nose?
You can just peel it off.

No I am talking about filling in the gap around the Trans Am's front bumper license plate filler so it looks like the bumper is one larger piece.

Whats that Urethane filler called? How hard was it to fill in those holes yourself? If I can I would rather DIY..... Thanks for the info.
