the filler is screwed on usless it was damaged and then was glued ...
I would remove the front bumper ,,,replace repair the filler,,,then install filler and then install adjust bumper for proper alignment..
us a flex additive to the paint,,,and a primer for correct bonding..

I have to order a brand new one, there's no repairing this one, thanks alot though. I found all of the screws, but In order to see them... you have to look under the car

with ordering a new one will it be painted for you?
removal of the bumper will make this install easier...and you can adjust for fit...

the replacement filler will come black... that's not a problem cause the whole car is being painted over, that was the only thing holding me back

If you do paint the vehicle have them paint this filler off the vehicle with the proper prep/paint additives so that it will flex and stick,,,also match the rest of the vehicle..
if you don't do the correct prep it will peel, and crack....same thing as newer vehicle bumpers..
