Something I've been thinking about doing is, decreasing all the gaps. Instead of moulding, put down something like wax paper, so it doesn't stick, but will have tiny, almost invisible gaps. For instance, you could put wax paper on the bumper, and then bolt on your lip, then "Mold" it, and remove the wax paper. Does this make sense? I did it on a hotrod that had huge door/ hood, etc... gaps, and it looked great.
