Default How to make my fiberglass bumper stronger

Any ideas?
Some parts of my aftermarket fiberglass bumper is strong, but some parts are weak. I was thinking of putting some kind of material on the back of the bumper so it's a little thicker. I don't know

Anybody have any ideas ?

Yeah that's what I want to do. I don't know what and how I would do the prep and what materials I would need. I've never done anything like this before, but it does sound straight forward. I just need someone to help me get started
