  • Cracked front bumpers

    SO I bought my 85 TA about 2 years ago and theres a huge crack or rip on the passenger side of the front bumper running from the fog light and up about 8 inches. This did not really bother me since there are a number of other problems or things to fix on the car and I hope to get around to doing a semi-major overhaul of the car.










    Now about a month ago I was washing my camaro and noticed that there was a crack in the passenger side of the front bumper steming from the turn signal which was also cracked and noticed the headlight pushed back. I was really pissed and figured someone ran into it in the parking lot when I went into D&W for 5 min the day before because thats was the only pulic place I was recently.





    I got 2 quotes for insurance and both were over a grand, not worth making a claim, I was thinking of getting new angel-eye head lamps anyways and can pick up a new turn signal anytime, so anyone have any suggestions on how to fix or at least hide the cracks with out having to buy a whole new bumber?

        I know that if you go to any body shop, like painters supply, they sell a eurathane patch or fix kit. You mix a couple different pastes together, and then you put it on the area that you want to fix, the stuff works pretty good, i've used it a few times. Good luck.
