got it all lined up nicely, not just some fibreglass on the back, melt the seams with a soldering iron, and fill with plastic and bondo on the front. sand, paint, paint, done. Two hours, tops. :D

It wouldn't look bad with black plastic zip ties and the knots in the back.

It slid on ice into a snowbank that was kinda like drifting.

That would require me removing the cover and if I'm going to do that I really might as well replace it all together.

Sliding and zipties. You've basically earned your formula drift licence right there.

Yeah right I'll put it right next to my mustache sticker. But I'll do it ironically.

Get paid by an energy drink company to slide round cones and construction equipment and put it on youtube I'd imagine.

Can I wear a baseball cap with the stickers left on the brim backwards and use words like sick?

You have to wear more than the hat or no deal.

I had a bumper like that for over two years. It even passed the notorious German TÜV inspections! Real quality work! But I used black zipties. The white ones are rumored to degrade under UV rays.

The thought is that I will replace it with a nicer bumper cover before I try to sell it next year.
