i just noticed it after leaving work and walking to my car...i dont recall bottoming out at all today but i was driving quick b/c i had a lot to due during my lunch break anyway i was wondering if this can be repaired or fixed without having to buy a new one and get it painted and that whole process....its not bad but i duno....heres the pics

 

Ouch!! Is that fiber glass?

 

ouch i think its polyeirathane and if thats try good luck!

 

yea thats wat it is....try what?

 

oops i didnt know what i was saying, but i meant to say good luck! your gonna need someone who is really good at repairing plastic. other than that my best guess would be to fix it with fiberglass and bondo the front! but yeah...

 

your lucky, mine shattered into 20 pieces!

 

the greddy stuff isnt actually made from polyurethane, but fibreglass, bondo will definitely work..

 

it's abs plastic...urethane wont crack like that....get a plastic welder

 

yea i actually been lucky....but it was only a matter of time till something like this happened...going to see how much to repair this tom.

probably going to be enough $$

 

Weird spot to get a crack! But for any experienced bodyman it should be an easy fix w/ abs plastic repair epoxy or plastic welder. You can easily do it yourself since its not too bad.

 

whats this plastic welder? never heard of that...

i am thinking of doing it myself with the epoxy but was just curious what the plastic welder is?

i may also buy my paint and ask one of the fiberglass guys at my job to borrow there spray gun and spray over it when im done

 

actually it is urethane...and yes, it can crack, as any other material can.

it can be fixed, though it might cost just as much to get a new one...ask your local body shops first and if you need a new one, let us know, as we got a bunch

 

check with your local bodyshop and fix it. Shouldn't cost more than $150.

If you need to buy a new one, let me know. I'll hook you up.

 

i got my greddy front lip for free, but it was split in 2 pieces. if you go to an auto body supply store and ask for duramix brand abs fix. it is a 2 part resin that has all the same properties as abs. you will need a 2 piston gun to apply and mix the stuff, but i suppose you could mix it without the gun if you were quick. just make a valley where the break is and fill with the compound and sand smooth. on the back side, do the same, but press in a chunk of fiberglass matting to make the repair stronger. simple as that. cost ya less than $20 to fix. it makes such a strong repair, i was able to whip my spoiler around like a baseball bat, and it didn't come back apart.

 

if you lived close to me i could help you out, i have a plastic welder and have done many repairs on bike plastic's(fairings) and a few car bumpers. you should be able to go to a bodyshop and get it fixed but im sure it will be 100-150 w/paint?

 

well i finally tried to glue it with a 2 step epoxy it held nice but i moved my car from 1 spot to another spot and it came lose already....so i just took the piece off this way i dont lose it when i drive so now i have a hole in my lip...should i just take it to the body shop and see what they say? i am really pissed right now all i wana do it just ripp it off and throw it out

 

going to check it out monday see what they say...thanks for the offer ill let you know

 

thanks a lot...i am going to see what they say
