How bad is the crack? I had one in mine and went to the automotive paint store and bought bumper repair. Its like a JBWeld sort of compound. It filled the crack and from the back I placed a piece of ABS plastic to reinforce it. Its beautiful.

Here is my thread...I think the repair is at the bottom of the first page:

yeah,
I saw your repair
nice job!
The bumper I am replacing is a platinum.
My buddy ran into the curb and has offered to buy a new one.
I told him it was going to be around $200
but its ok if it is more
one of the cracks is the mount for the fog lamp so I think glue would be difficult.

Thanks,
Chet

I bought a new one from the dealer due to a raccoon. It was around $400 new plus having it painted.
