i found my rear cracked this morning.
i guess these replica bumpers are really weak that it could crack so easily.....
is there anyway i can repair it??

to repair it right, you need to remove the bumper to get to the backside. by then though, you may be better off just getting a new bumper.

Sadly, there isn't really much that will stick hard to the PP material that the bumper is made from. Better off just getting a new one...
