Default Gap filler needed, What to use?

What to use, I have installed splash guards and I have small gaps between the fender and the splash guards, I need to fill them and then paint over the filler. What to use, any ideas?

The best thing to pull them sand down the high spots and do that until you have them the way you like. That will be the best way that I know of with stuff cranking and falling out.

Will probably take some trial and error, but you should be able to get the guards to fit up against the body. That's what people are doing when trying to modify the C6 Z06 guards to fit on a C5.

Modify the guards to fit the fender and forget about trying to fill the gap, there is to much flex and it would crack at the point were they join. Just my .02 worth.
