Default Got a Question for you Auto Body guys!!

My 94 Ej1's front bumper is in overall good shape except for the part where the license plate bolts up to. The Crackhead that had it before me looked like he had just pulled the license plate off with out un bolting it.. My question is i have shaved the front and back emblems and have seen shaved bumper holes on the front bumper what do i use to do that or fill the holes..

Cant use bondo or anything like that cause it will fall out..Fiberglass and smooth the **** out of it?? IDK

What would you guys do?

Thanks, NICK

Plastic welding. Take a chunk from a ruined bumper, and fill the holes with it.

What do you use to melt the plastic? An actual plastic welder or a torch/lighter or something.

you dont always have to melt it. they make an actual plastic welder that heats up and smears the plastic and also they make stuff to mix and repair the plastic. just depends on the type of plastic
