Cracked Bumper

[daythecountrydied21]

Ok so my bumpers had a crack in it since I bought it, old women don't know how to drive nice cars, my friends LSS Cavy was driven by an older women, and she cracked his too. Just wondering if anyone knows a good way to fix it. It's hard to see in this pic but it does extend from the point where visible, down under the lip to the end of the lip.

No fix that I know of beside replacing the whole front mask. Not that knowledgeable about resins. It would probably take more work to fix than to replace and paint.

I did a similar repair on the front piece of my fx kit on my Ion... check out the work & step-by-step:

my bumper was completely broken apart. the piece was split. so i used a bondo bumper repair kit to mold it back together, then paint :)

hmm.
think you could make any recommendation given the severity of mine?
i'm not knowledgeable at all on this and they have so many different products that do SIMILAR stuff.
what would you recommend if it was you?

Honestly, for the price of all the stuff you would have to buy to fix that one little spot, you could almost pay a body shop to just do it for you. You would spend a lot to get everything you need, and then have a bunch of material left over. I would see if a reputable body shop would repair the area, then just blend in the paint on just that bottom part around the repair, keep it small = less $

Also you could really screw up your bumper pretty easily with one little mistake. Wouldn't be something I would recommend to someone without any experience doing body work.

yeah true haha. guess i'll just deal with it since it doesn't affect anything and you can't tell unless you're right up on it. just one of those things that pisses you off everytime ya look at it ya know haha.
