is there anyway to repair this?

Fog light hole on focbody. And yes, I know there's a lot of bugs, just got done driving 600 miles.

ya, you can epoxy it your self or pay to have it fully refurbished. my 84 GT bumper ran about $400 but it was BAD!!!!

A new GT nose at Late model resto is 189.00.

If I were of a mind to repair it, I would probably lay some woven fiberglass mat on the back side of it, re-inforce the cracks/gaps with a good epoxy and prep and paint

That is the correct way to fix it.

What would you call a good epoxy? Been looking for one I can trust and im a bodywork noob.

Something 2 part. I'm not sure what kind of plastic that bumper is made of, but most of what you find at the auto parts store should suffice. Make sure that everything is cleaned and de-greased thoroughly for the best adhesion. If you plan to back it with the fiberglass mat. I would scuff it with some sand paper to help it hold. I would probably lay 2 layers of mat back there. One just larger than the entire cracked area, and then one 25-30% larger. Remember, more resin is not better. Brush a thin layer of resin onto the bumper, lay the first mat, and then brush resin on top of it, keep it thin and compressed. Then follow with the second mat

Hmm... what if there is not room to go 30% bigger on the second mat? Got a big crack the back bumper of my 94 . You can go sideways but not up and down.

Its not 100% necessary to go bigger, it just adds an extra layer of stability back there. Got a pic of the crack?

I had a Stillen Nose on a 300 ZX TT. A guy backed into the car and punched a hole in the nose. A local body shop "Plastic Welded" it and worked it . Looked as good as new and I saved $ 700. I think Harbor Freight sells the little welder unit. They are not too high, and the "Welding Rod" if you can call it that looks like big weed whacker string. Pretty neat once you get the feel of using the tool.
