Cracked Kuruma Z Front =(

I was driving and a CHAIR with metal legs and the part you sit was plastic was right in the middle of the lane! There were cars to my left and right and I was going about 60mph and couldn't dodge it or I would have hit the other cars so I just hit the damn chair. Now my kuruma bumper looks like shiet and I dont know what to do now....

Get another kuruma Z and drop 1k for paint and all that.....or

been thinking about just parting out everything and bone stock

Before:






After: (taken with iphone)

Sorry to see that. But I don't really understand parting out an entire car over cracking your front bumper?

Yes you can fix it. You bodyshop will need to use something like the "3M™ Automix™ EZ Sand Flexible Parts Repair Kit". That stuff is quality but not cheap, like $50 for a 13oz. tube. My bodyshop used it on my poly nismo and it's strong stuff.
