Auto body repair & detailing/Front lip split

Question

Damage Detail
Hi Kim, I have an 02 Subaru Impreza.  I hit construction debris on the road which caused the front lip to split.  What is the easiest way to fix this without replacing the whole part.  Am I out of luck since this is plastic?

Answer
Hi Dave  ,  You are not out of luck and this can be repaired. Check it out with your auto supply store and ask them for a 3M product to do the repair with.....There is also a product put out by Fuser and I am sure there are others . I believe these products come with a technical sheet providing info on how to use their product properly...hope this helps and all the best to you........Kim
