Fiberglass bumper crack help?
I've had this crack on my front fiberglass bumper and I don't really know how to start fixing it. I need some help lol. Any tips and recommendations appreciated.

If in fact it is fiberglass or SMC, the basic practice is to grind the crack out at an inch plus wide on both sides (inner and outer) past the ends and apply resin and fiberglass mat to build up the area to be flush. The inside you could leave as a rough patch or sand smooth and apply one more coat of resin to seal it from moisture.
The outside needs to have the paint feathered back, filler added, primer and paint.
It's messy, stinky, dusty but pretty easy.
One has to ask, what started the crack? If not reinforced or braced, it may repeat itself if it wasn't induced from impact.
