Default Ideas on filling gap between splitter and front bumper

Hey guys

I was just wondering what ways did you use to fill the gap that is present between a splitter and a CR lip?


Thanks,
Kiwi

I have not done it myself but have heard many people use the garage door stripping sold at Home Depot.

I just had to pull my CR lip off (thanks NASA) so I built this. when I had the CR lip on I used expanding foam to fill the gap and shaved it down. But I felt like it looked terrible.

Mine's a little ghetto but to make my air dam for my stock AP2 bumper I just bent some aluminum flashing 90 degrees and sliced up the bottom side so it could be curved to match the bumper, then riveted it to the splitter. I glued black door trim on the top edge for a cleaner look. It would look cleaner overall if I had found some pre-bent angle, but I had the flashing lying around and it got the job done.
