My rear bumper has a crack in it. its about five inches long it starts in the middle and ends by the reverse lights. Anybody know what i can do to fix this. i would post a pic. but i dont know how.

Five inches? Wow.. I don't know if there's a sure fire way of solving that problem without it returning later on. I neglected my bumper for a long time and all the paint chipped off and continued to do so. There's a sort of glue that some automotive shops sell, guys that do body work use it to "melt" the split pieces together. I can't remember what it was called, but it's an application that can cost you as low as $100 (minus the paint). I suggest you go and ask, usually smaller automotive shops would know.

you could fiberglass it

Glassing it wouldn't be the best idea. Although it would be less prone to cracking versus bondo, it's not the best for outer "cover-ups."

SEM sells a sort of body filler, it doesn't harden like bondo does and you can use as much as you want. It's called Flexible SEM Weld (Part # 39927 for anyone that cares). I used it to repair the front of my polyurethane blitz kit when I cracked it.

Anywho, F!SH, I wouldn't recommend you doing this yourself, it's made for bodyshops and people that know what they're doing. I would bring it in and have it fixed.

EDIT: And to post a pic, just get it hosted somewhere like on imageshack.us or photobucket.com and then just paste the link in your post.
