I just discovered that the lower right side of my bumper is cracked. (about 3 inches)
It probabley came from me hitting a snow bank OR having the car slam into a pot hole. We have very deep potholes in Toronto.

I am pretty pissed at HOndas in general because they seem to be made of really crappy material. This is in comparison to the previous Toyota i had.

Does anyone know how I would fix this? I checked and the entire piece is the bumper and I don't want to replace the entire bumper.
Any special glue or anything?

Our bumpers are made of polyurethane.... simple THE BEST and most flexible.

It's not possible to crack it until you hit a curve really hard or slammed against the ground a few times.

I think all manufacturers use polyurethane...even your previous Toyota. It can be fixed with bondo and paint. Leave it to the body shop...

Yeah, I have been rear ended twice now and hit hard while I was stopped completely.. but the license plate of the other car put holes in the bumper and it didnt even crack....Very happy with that

most car's bumpers are made outta cheap plastic. My moms car is the same way.

I don't mean to be rude, but this post reminds me of a similar one from the past.

Someone was complaining that honda uses cheap glass in their cars. Why? Because their windshield got chipped when a rock flew up and hit it as they were going down the road. LOL

Anyhow, honda uses thin sheet metal but the bumpers are fine. Sounds like you hit something pretty hard.

I got a chip in my windshield, but I have one in my mustang also...Rocks are hard, heated things get hot, round things roll, and glass breaks, these are the laws of .... life....?

things break when too much force is applied. my gf was reversing out of a parking space n hit the bumper of this huge pick up. craked the corner of the bumper, nothing at all on the pick up. still havent fixed it yet. it will be fixed though. this is our car till i get my gsr or gsx. so i gotta take care of it.

Once when I was on the freeway this car in front of me kicked up this big piece of junk into my lower front bumper. It hit HARD (@ 70mph). For sure I thought my bumper would be in pieces... all it had was a couple of scratches and part of the black lower lip came off the track that fastens it. Simple fix. I think it's pretty durable.

my insurance replaced the bumper, but it can be fixed. shops usually heat it to form then apply bondo etc. then primer&paint then its done. much faster than going to the dealer and insurance....

The bumper isnt meant to be a solid unbreakable piece of protection. As with any intelligently designed car it is meant to compress and dissapate the force of an impact throughout the entire car so your body doesnt have to take the brunt of it and continue forward with the full force. You could go for the rigid solid metal bumper of the 60's, and although unbreakble, I bet you the instant you hit a hard pothole or snowbank, your face will be good friends with the inside of your windshield.
