Okay, is it possible to heat up painted fiberglass in order to bend it so it goes a bit closer to the cars body? I was just wondering because I just got my car back today and there are a few gaps here and there whether it's double sided tape on bonding to well or the fiberglass doesn't get to where it suppose to be (And I want to be careful that I don't strip the paint from any of the panels). I mean overall the install looks okay, but I wanted to where I can kind of seal off the gaps more so it's less noticeable. Also, is it a good thing to just use a sharp blade to remove excessive double sided tape from the skirts and extensions? Any and all help will be appreciated so please give me some info on this, thanks guys. Also, i'll try and get a few pictures up tomorrow to show you guys what I mean.

I know how you feel, same here. However, you can buy weatherstripping. You can get this anywhere, same way the corollas are with their skirts. Its a black piece that goes around the skirt. They prevent rain from going in between. Still you shouldnt worry, there are drain holes. I just deal with it cus mines white and I don't want that black line unless painted to show. Good example is a matrix with skirts.
