Thanks guys! I get my bumper back tomorrow and since i've never welded before i plan on trying out the JB epoxy weld that was mentioned. So i'll see how that one plays out, and then if it fails i'll go with welding. welding with a soldering iron that is

^Just make sure you get the JB Weld for plastics! Original/normal JB weld is for use on like metals and such materials.

alright so i got the bumper back on monday but didnt have time to do anything with it til yesterday... but so yesterday i did the jb weld and i waited an hour or so until i had to go to work and i am annoyed of driving bumper-less so i put it back on and so i dont know if the jb weld didnt work or i just put it on too fast... and so this is what it looks like now..

This is the tab causing it all

Small Crack, not so much of a deal as the other broken tab
