Icon3 Bodykit Repair

Hey I have a body kit on my civic and its pretty low. One day i went up a curb to fast and put this nasty crack in it. It makes the rest of the bumper underneath the crack kind of shaky and not stable, i was wonderin if you guys knew any ways that i could fix this so i could paint over it and it wouldn't shake. I think its duraflex. Heres a pic.

I would get some chicken wire and some kitty hair and reinforce the back side of it before you did anything to it! Then I would sand down the outside of it and refill the cracks with the kitty hair until it looks right!

I agree, make sure you have it reinforced and everything.

just being honest here, if you buy kitty hair and all that material it's gonna run you around 20 30 bucks, when a none oem bumper cover for ur car cost around 45 55 bucks or cheaper?? if you wanna fix it go ahead and buy the kitty hair, but id go with a new bumper

just tear it off completely, run over it and throw it in the dumpster. save money for a new OEM bumper.

Can't you just get the fiberglass sheets and layer a few up in backside of the bumper were the crack is ,then roughen up the front and remover alll the loose pieces, n just get body filler or fiberglass crap..its doesn't really look that big.
