Default TTE Front Lip installation question

I decided to grapple the task of installing my TTE front lip myself..All in all it worked out OK!!
I do notice a few small gaps between the bumper and the lip that may be a result of the epoxy
not being spread evenly....Will a clear sealant do the trick in these areas??...Any recommendations on a good sealer??

Yeah but be aware of having a body shop do work that they may be unfamiliar with....The outcome may be worse than expected and on top of that you will have to pay for it
