JB Weld on the back of it...or duct tape for the GIY'er. Epoxy will work as well...just be sure you dont get any on the front of it...

If I were you, I would take of the sideskirt then use the special epoxy for plastics. I think they sell it at autozone. Then put it in the crack and put some strong tape to hold it together. Let set for a day and it should be good as new.

yea it probably has, but so has most things, he needed help and he got it. Relax. Your not exactly old in your membership either my friend. If everyone only searched for things there would barely be any new posts up on the board and no live help. So instead of telling people its been posted, why not answer their question if you have the answer and not waste anyone's time.

To answer your question, you could buy the epoxy, but I would reccommend taking the part off and doing this and letting it sit for a decent amount of time. That's if the crack is minimal. If its pretty bad, get some professional do it to make sure it doesnt crack more in the future.

yeah, it depends on how well you want it fixed. i have a similar crack on the front of my buddy club front bumper. the honda collision repair center says $675 for everything, while another local body repair shop says $250 for everything. thats paint, removal, repair the works. the actual repair without paint shouldnt really be more than 100 bucks. but if your satisfied by just keeping it together, which is only a temporary solution.... that will work fine too for well under $100.

Try contacting a local paint and body supply shop. There is such a thing as fiberglass repair kits, specially made, call around, you should be able to find what you need.
