How severe is the crack? Try using bondo.

The crack is pretty bad. Its split for a little over an inch. Would bondo hold that together? or do you need fiberglass?
If fiberglass, how do you do that? i worked with bondo before but not fiberglass. |

I went buy the bondo bumper repair kit today for my front bumper. It has a crack bigger than an inch, I will try it tomorrow and see how it goes.

pics!
fiberglass WILL NOT STICK TO POLYURETHANE. POLYURETHANE = stock bumper material now lucky for you; you have me  i know how to make FG stick to poly. otherwise, i wouldn't own a bumper right now.  (ancient JDM secret)  so now show those pics, and i'll get promptly onto explanations on how to repair (complete with pics) -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!

Even I must know that secret too, and here, we walk around in loincloths and start fires with dry sticks.

not at all. your bondo (body-filler) job looks just fine!
fiberglass is just a harder / more permanent solution; less likely to recrack/split down the road. in the end, it all achieves the same goal though. Hell, i've seen people use duct-tape (if you did that; then i'd give you a hard time  ; these are celica's, not chevys)
