Caulking actually comes in black. It comes in clear as well, but looks non factory if you seal gaps using the clear ( ends up looking like mucous )

As you apply it you can use a wet rag to smooth it down.
This takes mere seconds to do and makes the mod look factory.
Using a razor after the caulking has cured is about a hundred times more difficult than using a wet rag and results in rough edges and possibly sliced fingers and scratched paint.

If you leave the caulking oozing out of the gaps, you not only make the car look bad, but you cancel out any benefits you get from sealing the gaps in the first place.

Just my opinion, buy I think the main thing that makes the AeroCivic look rough around the edges is the unsmoothed caulking.

Cmon Basjoos you know it would make the car look SO much better !
