Does the 96 deLsLow bumper have the aux lights in the front? if so then its the same as the 93. As for repairing the damage, mostlikely its fiberglass since u said it cracked. If you have no clue about bodywork, which i believe you dont since you dont know what its made out of, then id let a body shop do it. heres a quick DIY
1.) cover the area with fiberglass/ kitty hair
2.) sand it down with either 40 or 80 grit until it looks close to how it suppose to
3.) after fiberglass lay bondo over it.
4.) sand bondo down until it looks right
5.) prime
6.) wetsand
7.) spray
thats some quick step. too tired to type every detail. you get the idea

pretty much do what ^^^ said. I would talk to a body or paint guy and they can tell/show you some technics to mixing filler and applying it properly. fiberglass repair can be really simple, just do it right.

If there is going to be too much labor to fix, find a replacement. You should be able to pick up a cheap fiberglass front for not a lot of $.
! hehe, peace

yah, stock bumper with a lip is the best IMO. but if kits are what you're into, just get urethane next time, not fiberglass
