I know it looks bad, but the good thing about fiberglass is that it can easily be repaired. I know from experience, my car fell off the jack and one of my sideskirts cracked, my body guy fixed it in one day.

Yikes, that is exactly why I am staying away from fibreglass on the front of the car. Having said that, I have a broken CF hood that would go nicely with your broken bumper. I can let you have it for $200 shipped cause I'm such a nice guy.

Carbon fiber is the same way.

Good luck with the repairs.

Sly, whats up man...i cracked my front bumper today as well, very slightly not as bad as this guys but it is still annoying the heck out of me.

Anyway, do you think it can be repaired with out having to repaint the whole thing?
Who did the work on yours?
How much was it?
