well the space between the crack is less. do you plan on filling it in now ? the make products to patch the urathane bumers/ looks like a spot you could continue to patch and spray bomb to match the car.

Lol the snow really isnt my concern its the mag chloride i worry about. I dont garage it it gets the driveway because as cool as my car is theres even cooler stuff in the garage. I'm not sure where the guy i got it from had it sitting or whatever but it is solid and i've pulled off all the gfx at times and the carpet has been up, went underneath it to clean everything up on the underside and it looks brand new! Except everytime i do detail underneath it rains and the crap sprays everywhere. I always keep it good and clean over and under same with my bird and never had rust problems actually none of our cars do and we got one hell of a stable. I dotn drive it in the snow though i take the truck cause a modded v8 with "summer" tires is a bad combo
