BUMPER HELP, SEEN THIS? FIXABLE?
Wednesday, July 08, 2009 3:28 PM
THE KIT IS A BC2 FIBERGLASS KIT.
i would like to see if this is fixable before i have the kit painted in a few short weeks! the place thats painting it also has fiberglass repair knowledge so i may ask them to do more than fix a crack or two...
any suggestions?

Yes, It can be fixed.

It's only fiberglass.


Edit: You already cracked it??? It's only been on there what, a couple months?

You just need some sort of Lbracket or support under it.. looks like it just sagged.. from a lack of crush guard and reinforcement bar.

didnt sag, it has always been like that. its quite stiff actually. not easy to move or try and adjust it at all...

and yea, stupid road construction hit my front bumper and ended up with a crack like...4 inches long...not too bad though.

can you pull up on it and fix it? if so just reinforce the back side with more fiberglass mat or even a nice sheet of metal.

Just force it some to get it right in those areas....

It will go where you put it for the most part.

Sucks about the crack tho

hmm...
so what about if i get the fiberglass resin and sheet etc...(aka: everything i would need) and add on that section where its too low? or would it be easier to make a brace...i just seems like it would break if i forced it up?..

Just cut it out. Fit it to the headlight then fill the gaps with fiberglass. You will have to add a lot of layers if you plan to just build it up. Not worth it plus if it is not done correctly it will crack.

Fiberglass repair is easy. The reason it costs so much is because a lot of people bitch about how itchy and messy it is.
