Lightbulb idea for anyone w/ Chrome Silver body kit parts

As some of you know, I got a VS v1 front lip last week. Initially I had it too high and shifted to the right and I had a large gap on one side. I re-installed it and got the gap much smaller and it looks like it is supposed to. As I was seeking advice, 2003z suggested that I use some silicon sealant after I am done. So today I went to the hardware store and bought a bottle of GE Silicone II Aluminum color sealant for Aluminum. As 2003z suspected, it matches the CS paint very very well. It even has a metallic sort of look to it. So I just put a TINY bit between the gaps, spread it evenly with my finger and now my lip looks even better. It looks more integrated and almost like it is part of the bumper. I imagine it would work with other body parts to, just so you know. Again, I can't beleive how well it matches. I think I got lucky on this one.

Yes Please post up close pics when you get a chance. How much was the color sealant and how much did you have to use?
