Cracked Bumper
Is their a way to fix a cracked fiberglass bumper without being really noticeable. I thought about some fiberglass bondo on the inside but then I would still be able to see the crack on the outside. I had a snow pile at the end of my driveway and I wanted to level it some. I hit the pile with the back metal bumper first. I was sitting in the road and a car was coming so I gunned it and hit it with the front and it cracked the bumper cover right in front of the drivers side tire on the bottom. Will post pic later.

The front valance is made of ABS, so fiberglass is not an option. It is just not flexible enough. Some body shops have plastic welders that might repair the part. You could use a plastic patch and some Waterweld on the back side. That may leave the crack showing pretty bad though?
Replacement is the best option. A search should reveal some options. S10warehouse on ebay comes to mind, as does LMC.
If you want to do some creative trimming, a couple people have trimmed them down to improve the approach angle. I thought they looked pretty good.
