Fiberglass and bondo.


You may want to consider replacing it. It's a lot less work.

i dont have the tools ( i do have a torch lol)

but a fiberglass kit at autozone is 15$ so i could fiberglss the rear and borrow some bondo from my bro and prime and paint it.

honestly i think i'd come out spending too much getting a new one (60-70 for the bumper and about 40-50 for paint and labor
