TJM sells a bulb trim kit for the bumper, @kcjaz is that what you used?

Link? On some MYs or versions of the T13 I think you had to trim plastic. For that bulb trim would work. In my situation there is no thin edge to put the grip part on.

It is listed for the 16+ bumper but here is the P/N if you want to look into it, 076PWELD003.

Thanks. Looks like other bulb type trim I’ve seen and used. It’s meant for gripping to a flat edge 1 to 2mm thick. The gap I want to add trim to doesn’t have that on either the bumper or fender at that location.

My apologies as I meant to add this.

Disclaimer: I am a 70% function/ 30% form kind of guy. So that gap nor the imperfect junction bothered me but I know many of you are more detail oriented than I am.

There is a gap...and yes, it has a function. CO used that filling to bridge it and did a nice job that is hardly noticeable.

What some might find annoying, however, is that the TJM flares just a hair wider than the fenders. It doesn't bother me as you have to be looking at it just right to see it. And unfortunately I'm halfway to Central America at the moment, else I'd take a pic of it.

Here's that seam, for what it's worth.

I see the bumper being a hair wider than the fender as a good thing for protection - routing stuff encountered by the wing out away from the body panel (or helping the vehicle bounce away in the case of a fixed object like a tree).

And for whatever it is worth, I might have installed that trim bulb moulding in the wrong place, but on mine ('16 no cut TJM T13) there was a lower flange that seemed like it was made for that purpose.
