So panel gaps are far from the biggest aerodynamic problem with this 4Runner right now, but because I had to remove the front grill to access a leaky o-ring on the AC accumulator drier I decided to seize the opportunity and fill the panel gaps on the front end. I used a trim-lok edge trim with side weatherstrip profile between the bumper and the grill / filler panels and trim lock self-adhesive with the 3M adhesive around the headlight and the hood gaps. Used some thin pieces of door edge guard around the marker light to seal that up as well. Turned out pretty good I think.
