I have cracks on both sides of my front fascia down low where the protective tape is from dodge, about 5 inches in from the edge. Many Vipers I've seen have the same cracks from scraping on driveways. I want to use something to glue or reinforce the cracked area. I was hoping to be able to put some epoxy on the backside then maybe a little filler on the front before paint.

The cracks are about 1.5" long at most, nothing major.

What product do I use?

Thanks!

Sounds like a lot of work but the best fix would be to remove the bumper, use an epoxy resin with carbon fiber or a polyester resin with fiberglass and reinforce it from behind. You should be able to make the seem invisible from the front but if you are a perfectionist you may sand down the front, use a filler, and then paint it. Used this fix on a cracked rear bumoer cover and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps.

^agreed^


I did this on mine
I used a poly resin and some FG cloth to reinforce the backside of the lower lip

sand the cracks from the front and fill with a flexible bumper repair/filler
fill it, sand it smooth, then fill it again, and sand again to reduce the chance of shinkage
