Can't seem to get to bond to well to the original material. Looks like I need to use the steel mesh that was including or the sharp side of the welder to be able to melt both materials together....

to fix the lip you could polyurethane glue then use fiberglass in the back to strengthen the seam. then filler and paint.
Yeah it is extremely depressing. Especially since one of my bumper lights got cracked as well and I have my winter steelies on so my car looks like a piece right now. The major problem is that the bonding material has to flexible otherwise it will break and crack down the crack again. I scrape pretty often in the parking lot I park in so that the reason.

The place I just tested on doesn't seem to be bonding very well to the original material...its making more of a blanket around it which works somewhat. I am now gonna try some mesh steel material.

not sure, their tracking system sucks, and is rarely up to date.

that'd be easy if I had $150 but would still look ghetto. if i can make this one look halfway decent for $16 ill be happy.
