Been trying to figure that one out myself. Don't know why you just wouldn't get it repaired the correct way.

Just zip tie or safety wire stitch it for now, it will keep the crap from spreading.

Tran was probably mad because when op narc'd on him the cops came in and disrespected his whole family. He could also be mad cause op wouldn't go fetch his car.

I have some holding my little mudflat thing behind the front wheel together. The only ones I found come unpainted and I don't feel like spending a lot of money to fix a part that does nothing

Get a cheaply fiberglass kit and patch it from the inside. It won't look as bad and you won't have the look of zipties

Our bumpers are made out of plastic. there is a how to thread on here that shows you how to repair them
But you practically melt and sand the bumper back togeather.

Never zip tie if you dont have to or its an emergency

Zip ties are used mostly in the drifting crowd. Why? Because it only costs a tiny bit of change, and they don't worry about fixing it properly, as it's probably gonna happen again.

For a street car that's just daily driven... get it repaired the correct way.

Just zip tie it then brag to your friends about your cool drift life and how its pointless to fix. Then drive home knowing you're just a cheap a**
