so i kinda hit a squirrel in my mx3 and broke the right part of the lip in half. what can i do to fix it back up again?

Dang man! How low is your car?

You can fiberglass it from the back side and then smooth it over with body filler on the outside.

Wouldn't the fiberglass crack? I was looking into doing some plastic bumper repair epoxy or whatever on my lip. Does any one have any good tutorials on how best to do this and what stuff I should get?

I second that. I also would like a little tutorial on how to do front lip repairs.

dangg.. strong a-- squirrel

i thought it was bad to fiberglass and use a filler because the expand and contract diffrently in colder/hotter weather. Someone back me up on that though.

thats what i heard too, but i think that it takes some time for that to really happen

My composite repair/ fabricate friends tell me epoxy or polyester isn't the way to go. If possible they said to try plastic welding. I may just rivet mine with an aluminum backing then use that plastic repair bondo that's used on bumpers. I'll find out the name of it and repost.
