I recently bought a toms lip with the intention of fixing up the cracks in it, theres 2-3 2inch cracks going through it, 2 of which are going through it almost and 2 is just barely going through it. I need some ways to fix these since I'm fairly new to this. Would bondo work well or would I have to plastic weld it? I don't have a plastic welder but if that's what I have to do than I guess I have no choice.

I believe to do it properly you need that plastic weld stuff. You could possibly fiberglass the back part of it, to reinforce the areas where it's cracked, and then fill in the front w/bondo and sand it smooth, then prime, paint, etc. However I know the bondo option isn't the proper way to do it, and there's no guarantee really how long that'll last. Some of the body guys should chime in on this, they'll know best.
