Default Take a look at this guys FG repair work( trash to gold)

Purchased this bumper and when it came in it looked like cr@p, almost cut in half. Before pics can be found at

After less then 2 hours of work look at what he did, you can't even tell that it was repaired other than the primer.
If you have somthing that needs repairing this is the MAN that will do it.

Cost me about 220.
no one else would even touch look at it let alone try to repair it. That peice he fixed is by far the strongest peice on the whole bumper.
But now I don't need it, purchased it for HIN this weekend but there is no time to fit it, prep it and paint it so I'm selling it in the marketplace section for 150. shiped

If you ship threw DHL it's very cheap to get it here to him if you need work.

$220 just to fix it without painting is a bit pricey. Fixing Fiberglass is not that hard.

the reason i said that because the shop that i use here charge only $300 with new paint for the whole bumper with fixing the same issue as you. Remember the red Z that i do the review with Ings kit? he hit a debris on the freeway and it cracks almost in half.

Dude, just keep it until you get the Do Luck. You're gonna lose if you're selling it for $150 so fast. I doubt Do Luck's ETA is correct anyway. You'll probably have to wait longer than what the estimated arrival is.
