Default any one know how to do this???

here is a random del sol i ran across and i would like to know if anyone has any idea how to extend the bumper like this? obviously cut it and drop it down and fill in the gap with something, smooth it out and paint, but fill it in with what? and how to get abs to go back together again... Any ideas, i really like the front bumper oem look, but a bit more aggressive.


vs stock (sorry stolen random similar angle shot del sol pic... i apologize if it's yours!!)

here's a link to more pics...

X2, unless they have something like that for the sol already. but i think you would have to plaxtic weld two bumpers together for that.

it would be a cinch if you had a stock looking fiberglass front bumper. Urethane will be alot more work
