Almost looks like the army theme is intentional, and kinda looks alright from some angles.

hey, my original goal was to fill in those gaps but its too much work involved, and ive been quoted to expensive to get it plastic welded, cheapest was 250$ thats taking the bumper off the car not telling them what car its from (so they dont know its an import) i thought about fiberglassing, had an attempt but didnt turn out to well, i was thinking puting a plate across and then bogging, but my ride is really low, front bumper is always scraping, so it would eventually crack and wreck the paint job.

Im guessing the bar plastic has too much oil in it and it wasnt getting a good bond

there are heaps of bonding/hardening agents out there. What about that foam sh*t that someone completely remodelled their whole interior with
