take it to a shop,or go to your local jobber and ask them what they recomend.the plastic that our bumpers are made of( Thermal Plastic Olefin)is a pita to repair if you have no idea how to do it.

They sell a fiberglass repair kit at autozone for about $10, one box repaired my hood and bumper...so it should be enough for a tear

Your bumpers are not fiberglass. That kit is not meant for plastic bumpers.Adionik wrote:They sell a fiberglass repair kit at autozone for about $10, one box repaired my hood and bumper...so it should be enough for a tear

Yup, my bumper immediately caught on fire and exploded after we used the kit.kornholio788 wrote:Your bumpers are not fiberglass.

Nope, repaired my front bumper and CF hood. You can't even tell it was ever damaged. A body shop is probably going to use a resin kit anyway, but your best bet IS taking it to one. They can spot paint and blend...shop around. Honestly if the gash isn't that bad I would just live with it, but that's me.
I like your stripes btw
