If i were you i would of done the same to the back as you did to the front. This is what I last did to my buddies civic (Read all show no go). He first adapted an integra wide body kit, after it cracked the first time. We just fiberglass and bonded it again. Then the second time i said screw it, took a marker, drew some lines on the car. took some cardboard traced the patter and then onto sheet metal it was from there. There was about a 3/16" gap between them to save thing. Expecially how low his car is. It would always crack things at the top. So with a mercy gap its alot better and cheaper to fix if ever needed. I'll try to get some pics off him to show you what we did.

K so I finally got him to send me those pictures. here they are along with one show to show the engine bay to show you it all rice lol ... but hey what ever gets the money in my pockets right and into go fast parts for my car. The pictures were only taken with a camera phone hence the crappy quality, but I should mention this is a pearl white color i think he picked it out of audi, and tossed in there some blue pearls. And yes he's already re-cracked the front end.
