I was just about to ask the same question If you fiberglass anything, you have to use filler afterwards...thats just how it goes

bumper looks good for sure - is it genuine though? The fitment at the hood line looks way off (lots of bumpers and/or hoods seem this way though)

so its a genuine TS hood then? If so, since you're running the aerocatch pins, try removing (assuming the hood has it) the center hood latch, and just using the aerocatch to secure the hood - on many of the Seibon hoods, the same exact problem exists as it's got something to do with how they mounted or made the center hood latch. Getting rid of it altogether always seems to help

most of the universal ones, you'll need to take a high speed rotary and cut the inside of it to fit.

trace the curvature of the bumper on cardboard and put it ontop of the canard and trim away on the inside.
