Default Front and rear seams...

Has anyone filled in the front and rear body seams at the bumpers and how did it look? Any pics?

I did both of mine. Looks fine to me, but it depends on what you want.

What if you want to take the bumpers off for some reason? I wanted a perfect seam so after stripping the paint from the first 3 inches of the clip and the same on the pumper I then applied bondo over the seam with a wide scraper the with a razor blade cut a new seam, let it dry, sanded , re applied bondo and recut. It all came apart in the end and gives a great parting line plus allows the bumper to be removed.

Thanks guys. I doubt that I'd take either off once painted unless to repair damage. I was wondering what the appearance was when the seams were eliminated to give uninterrupted visual like a one piece vs. an assembled kit car (thats extreme but just feel seemless might look better)
