I'm gonna be putting on my smooth boot panel in about a week or so (not bad, it's only been in the garage about 10 months now

)
What have you guys used to smooth it to the original boot at the edges, P38?, P40?, Tigerseal ???
Also have you had any problems with it cracking away at the edge ?

Cheers ppl

got one of them on mine -just make sure you use glassfiber all the way up the piller if you dont it will start to crack then filler over the top -and some sort of bonding exterior foam to stick it to boot

cheers Drew i've U2U'd him. Love the gif's in your sig BTW

Obviously I have a GSi spoiler on my boot, do I need to take it off when fitting the panel or will it fit around it ?
So, its looking like Tigerseal to bond, P40 to blend, P38 to smooth yeh ?
