I got my front lip torn up pretty good by a parking block the other day:







I was wondering if this could be fixed, or if i'd have to replace the whole thing.

and anyone know how much it might run?

it's fixable..not sure how much though...it can be fixed with some urethane material.

here's two options that I have to fix it,

1) Use Bondo( Half ass way that is not recommended)
2) Urethane material...

With that urethane material, you just put that flap back to where it belongs and use that urethane material to seal that crack on both sides. Then you sand it down and hit the entire lip with flexible primer and then paint.

where can i find this urethane material? The only thing i'm afraid of is, its been bent so bad that if i try to put it back in its orignal place, it springs right back to where you see it in the picture.

yeah, i see the pic. It can be purchased from auto body supply stores. Just tell them you have a crack in your urethane lip and need to patch it up. If you're scared it might flap back, do this. Before you put the material on, take a blow dryer and hold it to the flap and heat up the urethane. It makes the urethane soft, so while it's soft, you bend it back to it's original position. This way, it doens't want to go back to that ugly position. At the body shop, they just use a heat gun. They use this method when urethane bumpers have minor dents in them.
