Okay, is it possible to heat up painted fiberglass in order to bend it so it goes a bit closer to the cars body? I was just wondering because I just got my car back today and there are a few gaps here and there whether it's double sided tape on bonding to well or the fiberglass doesn't get to where it suppose to be (And I want to be careful that I don't strip the paint from any of the panels). I mean overall the install looks okay, but I wanted to where I can kind of seal off the gaps more so it's less noticeable. Also, is it a good thing to just use a sharp blade to remove excessive double sided tape from the skirts and extensions? Any and all help will be appreciated so please give me some info on this, thanks guys. Also, i'll try and get a few pictures up tomorrow to show you guys what I mean.

Yes you can heat and bend up some sort of fc parts but the paint wont last cos it heats up too. Atleast in some of us parts. Basicly they only use little different rosin on it so it will bend when heated. We heated my invader backbumper to make it fit and its almost like plastic once you heat it up a little. Also heated up my friends whole shogun bodykit on his mx-6 to make it fit. Hope this helps even little. And i know it s*cks cos youve painted them already.
