I could totally help you if I was in socal. all you really need is a fiberglass repair kit from kragen or autozone, sand paper to smooth it down after the fix, and paint it. vuala fixed fiberglass bumper. You should be able to fix it yourself following the directions on the fiberglass repair kit box.

here's what it looks like

I have used this stuff before when creating a fiberglass boost gauge molded into my gauge bezel on my 2002 ford focus. I'll try and see if I can find any pics of what I did to give you an idea of how it turns out. As long as you put in the work you can make it look exactly like it used to before you fucked it up. Stuff is easy to use also.

yeah.... sorry man. If u cant find anyone then i can help u out on how to fix it but on the painting thats all u. Good luck on findind some one on doing it for a good price. Buying the bondo fiber glass resin stuff wont fix it. You wont get a good finish with that stuff. Its hard to sand and feather. YOur gonna need that, glazing putty, sand paper grits from 60-600, some primer( u can pick up a bottle at auto painting stores not the kreagan/autozone kind), 1/2 pint of paint, 1 pint of activator, 1 quart of reducer, 1 quart of clear,1 pint of harnder. It all adds up man. Ill pm on some tips on fixing it and preping it unless u want to ship it out but that can be pricey also from here to you i bet itll be around 30-45.00 to ship via grey hound plus finding a box. I can buy a box easily custom made for like 22.00 but its all you if u cant find someone. Btw what is it? stock color?

All true for a complete job. But if OP just wants to fix the bumper, he can just get the fiberglass fixing kit and get it painted. It all depends on what he wants.

heard nothing but good things about him.

i talked to him personally at the Happening few weeks ago and he is really cool. He will work with your budget, and even offers a "drifters warranty" just ask him about it.
