Hole In Bumper!

I have a 1/2" by 2" hole in my front bumper because i rear ended someone. What do you use to fill the hole in so the hole becomes flesh with the bumper and just use touch up paint over it. Something that you can buy at autozone or advanced auto parts to fill it? Please any answers. Thanks!

It's a rubber bumper so if there is punctures, they replace the whole bumber usualy. Mine had a hole like a pen went thro and they replaced the whole bumber so filler prolly won't work.

fiberglass will work and you can smooth it out with bondo.

I'd have to see a pic of the damnage to relaly tell you. If you do some searching, someone "shaved" their front lisence plate holder on the bumper... meaning they cut up the bumper to get rid of that raised piece the plate sits on. There was a lotta bondo in that if I remember, bondo is good stuff. But the bad part, your going to need to get it sprayed at a body shop... and let me tell you, thats going to cost some dollars, all in all it might be cheaper just go find someone selling a bumper on craigslist or something ya know? When I had a problem with my bumper, I looked on craigs and found one- Got a good price too. yay!


allright madd tired, hope that made sence. peace!
