wat up guys, so my aero came in the mail yesterday. back bumper is vertex (real) and the rest is other shit. i just like the rear bumper from vertex
two questions,
1. it has a minor crack in the corner, is there any way i can reinforce the backing so it doesnt crack any more? supposedly vertex aero can be run over at high speeds according to their website but from what it seems, even a tiny bump can break it. it just feels like shit which sucks cause it was pricey
2. my exhaust tips (2 tips) are too wide to fit in the gap for the exhaust, is it going to melt the frp? this is my first aero purchase, dont know how frp reacts to heat
thanks guys

- Its fiberglass, lay more to fix the crack and reinforce it.

- Cut it up to open up the opening, then have a shop rebuild it to add back the support on the bumper.

1. yup u can bridge the crack from the back and reinforce it by laying down more fiberglass/ or u can ziptie the shiet if u wanna be ghetto...
2. either cut up the aero hole to make it bigger or u can just go single exhaust like buddy club spec 2! "thats what i like" ;)
or if its for an s14 u can sell me the rear bumper for a low price and everyones happy :yum:
