Did you use regular filler or the proper filler for your bumper?
I was thinnking that, cos when its properly fitted, the gap closes up a fair bit... i'll take some pics when its properly fitted...

i used body filler, which took to the plastic amazingly.!

I wouldn't use plastic filler for that, there are better products out there.

not bad thus far, few fittment issues but you're taking care of that. How are you handling the gab between the hood and bumper?

might be able to fab something up that just slightly comes up at each side of the bumper? i think that would make it look a little more like its meant to be there...
I might try photoshop in what I'm talking bout... dont judge my photoshopping skills (or lack of) though!!! :D

I was thinkin something like this? i'm not sure bout the middle bit, but think that a little bit of a frame to the sides would make it look much better... could be hard to make... but then again, surely it cant be harder than fitting a nismo kit to a 30x, eh?? ;)

Looks really nice.

I would close the gap between the hood and the bumper though.
