How to seal?

Guys, got lip redone today. However the material and mould left these crevices. I was wondering how I can seal them without gluing it permanently on my bumper?
Or should I dab some glue lightly?
I was thinking to use some gorilla glue and put two dabs on the bumper cover. I don't mind having glue on the bumper cover cause I'll replace it sooner or later. But I want the lip to hug the bumper but also be able to remove it later. What do you guys think?

DROP THE GLUE AND STEP AWAY FROM THE BUMPER!

THE CAR WILL LOOK IT'S BEST AS IS! IT LOOKS GOOD NOW!

You are just hyper sensitive right now. Give it couple a weeks and you won't even notice it.

If you put glue on it, when the glue dries, it is going to look like dry up jism!

From afar it looks great!
Just when you walk up to it, you see those spaces in between. Making me want to glue on to hold it to the bumper better. Maybe I'm being over sensitive?

Eric,

No idea why you made a new thread, since this is still an on going issue with your A-spec kit

I'm glad to see that it was installed correctly this time around. I'm disappoint you still failed to properlly read responses from your "bad a-spec fitment" thread.

Let's try this once more. I said this to you

"The solution,

Remove the rear a-spec lip and install it correctly. Apply new 3M double sided molding tape before reinstalling"

Keep in mind, I did tell you to scrap that aftermarket kit and just buy the OEM one if you want it 100%. It may just sit like that because it's not an oem kit. You did go back and forth with the body shop, how come you didn't tell them to "fix it correctly" for the 4th time around.

You get what you pay for. Try doing more research on your own when it comes to the 3rd gen TL. A lot of members have put in a vast amount of time and effort in contributing to the 3GTL community. Even this thread about A-spec gaps has been addressed a few too many times. Best of luck, catch you in another thread.

eh not too shabby for an aftermarket kit!

The gaps aren't a big deal, 3m tape (in warm weather!!!) will hold it.
Don't try applying 3M tape if it's cold out and the surface is dirty.

and your tail lights, whoa - you don't get pulled over?
