Default Front bumper

I've got a small 3-4" split in the bottom edge of my bumper, where, I caught one of those parking lot stops and split it.
Is there any kind of glue, that, I can use to repair it? Doesn't need to be painted or anything, just glued together.

Simply take it to get fiberglass repaired. Should be cheap

C6 bumpers are not fiberglass. They're a composite.

I just repaired a 6" spilt on the bumper cover of my daughters car (not Vette) with this JB weld product, project turned out nice. Pulled the bumper cover off and did all the repair on the backside of the cover. Sanded area around the split to improve adhesion, taped the split tightly back together with masking tape applied on the outside, applied JB Weld product evenly over the split and about one inch on each side of the split. Applied mesh drywall tape into the wet JB epoxy for reinforcement. Let it set overnight and removed masking tape. Spilt is nearly invisible.

It must have cost a small fortune to seal your driveway with JB Weld? I assume you're talking about cracks? Which one of their products did you use? I need to do the same.
