Default Repair on a 1992 GT body kit

What have you guys used to fix small cracks/tears in the foxbody GT bodykits? Its a 1992 and the rear bumper cover is stock and I want to fix it. If you could also tell me what Ford used for materials also.
Thanks guys!!

I think there is stuff called like "bumper icing" ,something that is designed to fix bumpers. if something broke off your bumper, I could see a flexible two stage epoxy working to glue it together. I think thee bumpers are a type of urethane. unless I am wrong and they are fiberglass.


worse case, you can always get a cobra rear bumper and a set of tailpipes lol

If it's OEM it will be that Flexafit stuff they use to create the bumper. Fairly durable in some regards, but doesn't bode well with paint over time if not garaged and such.

you can probably take it to a body shop and get them to plastic weld it for you
