Hey guys, well I got muself a blitz bumper, (its ok, Im Canadian, we have very few eclipses, and even less with a blitz) LOL....but anyways, the dam thing had a few stress cracks, and I think I may have added one or two during the install, and well Ill post about that Ishy job after, but I tried searching and there doesesnt seam to be much on getting rid of stress cracks....Everyone talks about avioding them, but never getting rid of the ones you have....Iv done touch up with chips and stuff, but never cracks....SO

How do you get rid fo the stress cracks on your bumpter??

Mine is fiberglass BTW.

Thanks, Sean

Did you just get this bumper? Is it new or used? If it's new, you're supposed to put it on wihtout paint for a while so the fiberglass stretches and cracks. Then apply bondo/figerglass then paint. I had many spider cracks and random weired cracks on mine to. Either way the design of the blitz will crack/scratch/dent your bumper for normal driving(ex bugs, rocks, etc.). If it's small, just put some bondo.

It's the paint job.

A strechable paint should be used on bumpers even if they are fiberglass.

Your best bet would just try some sandpaper, prep-all, and touch-up paint, and hope that it doesn't continue to peel or anything.

Else, get it painted by a better shop.
