haha yea plans changed a little, gonna daily it too so i got to make it a bit nicer and more street legal

That a Vortex front bumper? looks very similar anyways, should be simple to repair, just fiberglass it wising cloth fron underneath and just use resin on top, after sand it all down make it as smooth as possible and youll have a brand new bumper… DO NOT throw it away whatever you do.

good luck

One thing you can do Avery …

Take a really thin strip of aluminum, and drill two small holes in the ends. Pop rivet it to the back of the clean breaks in the glass. It’ll add some strength and a thin skim of resin will hide it completely.

You can also bond in strips with resin. It’ll keep it from sagging, and help you get the bumper into its original shape.

Yeah, and fix it while it’s on the car. Nothing worse than getting it all happy and looking pretty on the floor to find out it doesn’t line up anymore :wink:

what front bumper is that?

i wanna say oem kouki but for some reason it doesnt strike me as one.
