I used a general bondo but after stressing it with two hands it hasn't even shown signs of cracking so I "think" I'll be okay

I love it! I actually like the look of the 8 bumper with the triagle removed better than the 9 bumper. Cant wait to see the final result.

looks great!
i plan on doing that when i get my front bumper resprayed, would love to see some more pics of exacly how it was cut.

bummer on it taking so long, i would like to do it but didnt want the 10+ day down time as i plan on doing it to my exsisting bumper. could you have done anything that would have sped up the process.

and I cut thin pieces of the triangle that I cut out of the bumper to use as soldering material to plastic weld it in place after cutting it to fit almost snug in the opening
