I cut out a piece of the stock bumper and used a heat gun to get the right curve on it then used 3m proxy and filler.

she is complete :-) after months or procrastinating i finally finished it, need to put some mesh on that I got install in on Thursday and she goes to get painted along with the whole car starting Friday also getting that crash in the rear of my car fixed. Going from black to different color.
With installed fogs:
got it as good as possible the body man can deal with the rest :-)
not pretty from the back, i managed to take the grill points where the original screws use to go on and bonded it to the top and bottom so I can use screws to hold the mesh with.
good work!
must see installed.
Looks great!

What kinda epoxy is that?? Something u buy at the paint supply store?? I need that for my bike cuz I have to fix the plastics on it.
Looks good from the back though even though u say it looks messy.

its a product called SEM plastic repair 39767 , i still got a full bottle left and the applicator gun for it. But i had to get it this way cause i had a lot of area to fill as I used closed to 3 bottles for this bumper. how big is the problem cause they sell a smaller size like this one http://www.levineautoparts.com/sembure.html if you need more area to fill then you might need a full bottle check that site out they show you the products they have and what product works with what plastic.
when the temp outside is hotter the product is more fluid so when i had done the first part its dripped easily, but once you get that first layer let it get hard then added the big layer. but during the first layer i had to smear it on the screen it dripped lol most of it on the cardboard i had on the floor lol.

its more rigid now considering i put more of the epoxy in the back since there was a plastic strip left after i removed the parts I did not need. the bottom was a little more challenging cause if you never notice the middle piece of plastic between the pillars is actually lower then the two sides. I had to heat it up and bring it up to the level of the other two. Even thought I got it up to eye level i still had to add epoxy to make sure it was all even and that part is more rigid then before.
Tricky attempt lol but unfortunately no punt intending but you know 1 warm day or 1 slight shunt and all that effort will simply de laminate..but good idea..you'll notice the base sag as well after a while

the area behind it loaded with aluminum mesh as the base, after i am done I will be having mesh all being held at the by screws, and not chicken wire mesh the good stuff. don't really see it sagging and the material it self has flexibility i would have to bend it at 45 or more to make it break. believe me its rigid my orbital sander is a bit taller then the opening and i had to push the bottom down a little just to get it in there.
Lol good to hear lol, hope it holds out, don't be afraid to mold it tho man. Much better knowing for you in the end it's 1 piece no filler
