woo i cracked my greddy front bumper yay

haha i'm not mad. it was expected to happen with crappy fiberglass. Plus now i can repaint it with all the ugly rock chips from the cheap paint job it had before. (i'm the second hand owner of this bumper) hmm i'm thinking of buying the repair kit, buy a spray gun and practice painting

If it was urethane I bet it would've still looked perfect.

looks good huh? full of zits.

I on the other hand would be furious...which is why I'll never buy a fiberglass bumper.

OUCH! That doesn't look to good. I'm with you on fiberglass though, never again. I've got the Nismo replica front end and it scrapped against a parking curve and it just removed a chunk of the fiberglass LMAO. Luckily it was really low and I was able to fix it with some touch-up, but damn... Fiberglass is like freakin' PLAYDOUGH

S*** this is the reason why I have both the TS and the Greddy bumper. Both are crappy fiberglass. I just had them both painted and clearbraed because I had chips all over my greddy the first few times. This is the 3rd time I got the greddy bumper painted. Hopefully the clearbra withstands the rocks, if not, I'll be interchanging bumpers when it gets uglier. Too bad the best looking bumpers are made out of the most crappiest materials

you guys should definitely get a clear bra if the sand pitting and rock chips bother you..........in the long run, it'll save you money from costly repaints....not to mention the downtime at a bodyshop.
