How would you fix my bumper?
What's up guys,
Haven't posted here in ages! feels good to be back
I cracked my front bumper this winter in a giant pile of icy snow bank.
I'm looking for a cheap way to patch this up, like a vinyl that would cover part of my front bumper... do you think this is a good idea? my car is 10 years old.. I don't want to put real money into it, new bumper + paint is out of the question. (This is a Daily driver)

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? - Again I'd like ideas on how to hide this.
Here are some pics.

With no experience it will not come out well.
I would replace the bumper and paint it.
Your cheapest, hardest route is to remove the bumper and add another piece of plastic to the cracked areas.
Use a heat gun to mold it and body filler to get it straight.
Even then it will be difficult for anyone, a huge piece is missing.
Replace the bumper and try to paint it yourself. Easiest and cheapest way as said above.

Re: How would you fix my bumper?
That's your cheapest way out of this and for what you want it's a very acceptable repair. Fixing the existing bumper is simply not an option.
The best way is to find a body shop that is setup with Auto Parts Bridge so they can get you an OEM Honda bumper for an aftermarket price (should be right around $393.83) and have them paint it for you. You really need to have a body shop that has access to something like Colorscala chips and/or test cards plus a sun gun to get a proper color match.
