I'd just buy some epoxy (or polyester) resin and some fiberglass and repaired it... it'd take $50-80 but it would look way better

i tried some epoxy "plastic welder" and it held up really good but there was no flexibility. One scrape and my lip would've shattered or cracked again =/

Dude! i think the lip looks bad a** like that.

Don't buy a new one until you can not repair that one AT ALL.

Reminds me of Frankenstein!

It is obvious you took some time to do that and it looks great.

I really like that you did not go all multicolor, i find that multicolor only works on white cars and your car is a beautiful red! Red zip ties would be like you are trying to hide the fact that your car DOES get dirty and DOES go hard. With black it shows you are proud and not afraid to show it.

Good s***.

One Love,

Ghasty

You should have had it fiber glassed. Ziptie stitching on a clean car is wrong.

Please, get those side mirrors body matched. It would really set the car off.

you think that would've worked? This thing was in 4 separate pieces.

Find some red paint that is close to your color and spraypaint over the zipties. If you can't find anything close, have a couple cans mixed. It is always nice to have some extra paint for touch-ups.
