Headlight Chip and Bumper Crack fix?
Hello everyone, I was wondering what would be the best way to fix these two cracks in the car? Any advice or suggestions are appreciated! Thanks
Left headlight crack
Small crack near the left light
It's not a game breaker...right? >.<

I omly see the 1 crack in the cover. The covers come off with a few screws, you can get a used one or weld/grind/repaint yours (they are metal if I recall-had mine off once to repaint). If the other crack is in the fascia, go to the local bodyshop supply house, they have the stuff to repair urethane bumpers.

From: Should this thoughtful, valuable contribution meet with no acknowledgement or 'thanks' this post----
Covers are plastic, not metal, and the tabs on the early ones break off very easily...later models have thicker, beefier tabs but I am not sure which year GM finally improved the design. BTW, the used ones hardly ever show up here....I waited 3 years to get a torch red one before I finally lucked out. On ebay Butler Chevrolet sells unpainted ones for $160.00 ....not sure if any of them have ever had a buyer, but they keep listing it. you would be better off repairing and repainting yours...my dealer charges only $50 to repaint small items like this...best of luck to you
