    So someone backed into my rear bumper and cracked it and nothing else. A few pieces were broken out of the bumper cover but they all fit together perfect like a puzzle. I know a new bumper cover is gonna cost mucho $$ and in addition to that I gotta get it painted too. Anyone know how to repair a plastic bumper cover for relatively cheap? I could use some plastic body filler to get the inperfections out but I just don't know what to use to fix the tears and hold the broken pieces in. Do they make plastic 'welders?'

    yeah they make plastic welders, just google it. plastic welders But they would probably cost just as much if not more than a junkyard bumper (depending on the year of car). I guess i don't know how anal retentive you are about your car, but it may just be best to zip-tie stitch it together until winter is over, just in case something happens again.
