Default Cracked front bumper...

On my black 6spd 1992...I have a crack on the bumper area...its below the head light and above the turning signal. Is that fiber glass or is that a different material for the bumper use. Has anyone had any problem like this before? Its white and has a like spider web like crack... let me know if any one has ever gotten that repaired or replaced...thanks!

You're gonna need a new front bumper. Its not fiberglass, its poly urethane(plastic).

If it's spiderwebbed, then you need to take it to a body shop and have it sanded down and repainted. If it's CRACKED, as in there's a gap between two parts of the same piece, then you need a new one. Spiderwebs occur in a low-speed collision, such as if you're parking and accidentally pull too far forward and tap the car in front of you.

Theres a repair kit for the bumper, its a two part polymer.
Any automotive paint shop will have it. Its not a do-yourself job.
