ok so i want to shave my bumper of the tags holes and front emblem holes. What i need to know is how i got about doing this. Igot some stuff but not sure if it would be good for what i want to do. I got a thing of evercoat fiber tech and a thing of everycoat polyflex. Also have 3m flexible plastic repair kit and the flexible plastic that you stick on the back side of the hole. Will any of this be ok to use on the front bumper of a 98 integra?
well, the simple way i did it was to put regular masking tape behind the holes...then grind the front a little bit...then use a bumper epoxy and just mush it into the holes making it stick out above the hole slightly (that way you can sand it smooth on the first try) once it's good sanded with 180 then hit it with primer, sand and paint...hope that helps you out...


dont put duct tape over it it'll leave ugly ripples after you paint it the best way is use the epoxy made for bumpers as mentioned above

3m bumper fix kit will work great. Since you seem to already have the evercoat fiber and polyflex, you should try it out and see if it works. I used the 3m bumper fix and it worked great for me. just remember to sand the holes down a little bit to knock the edge off. if that makes sense...
best way is to get some bumper plugs and epoxy them in then fill teh cracks with bumper repair material.... this is how i did mine.... if you want it completly shaved it will eventually crack out but id go with panel body for that.
Do not use bondo! I've seen some people take extra bumper material and heat it up and melt it in the holes and then sand it. That epoxy is your best bet.
