Rear Body Kit Gaps - Need suggestions
Just installed the rear Lexus kit on my car. Unfortunately, the adhesive tape that was part of the package is coming loose, after 1 week, on the passenger side of my bumper. Driver's side is sticking tight.
What can I do to get this gap closed? Any super adhesive I can squeeze in there that would make it through summers and MN winters?
Thanks,

3M tape is the best and thats what I used to put my WALD kit on. It all depends on how you putted it on. Did you sand down the inside put and wipe down cleanly? Also did you wiped down the bumper correctly? All these precedures will affect the way your kit is put on. Pictures will help us and understand what you did. lolz

I had the same problem when I installed my GFX kit using the tape method instead of drilling into my bumper. I had some small gaps around the corners that really bothered me. Wasn't that noticeable but I knew it was there. Before the install, I had used the red 3M industrial tape around the edges where I thought it would touch the bumper. It helped, but I still had some gaps. I ended up using something called Plastic Weld I bought at Auto Zone. It's designed for plastic on plastic bond. I applied it per the directions, held it in place for 5 minutes and the gaps are now gone. Good stuff!! GL
