I bought a buddy club rear bumper for my 97 civic a week ago and it came in yesterday. I picked it up from the speed shop i bought it from, inspected it, and crammed it into my back-seat.
I handled it gently but i could of done a better job. Long story short, I cracked the side of the bumper on the drive home.
When people told me how crappy fiberglass was I really didnt think much of it, everyone whines about everything. Now its my turn to bitch.
Im now stuck with a cracked bumper, i got an estimate from one body shop
(im gonna check out others) and their estimate was 300 to fix the crack, mount it, and paint the bumper! I dont know too much about how body shops work, but that sounds waaay too much for the job.
check out my gallery for the pics:

The mounting and painting sound like DIY job, but im not sure about the filling in of the fibreglass.
Anyone of you guys know anything about fiberglass, or a decent price for the job.
Any input is appreciated.
