Bumper covers are a pretty easy fix, but we need a pic of yours to actually give any kind of specific recommendation.

I just repaired a large crack in my TA cover.use SEM bumper repair it comes in small 2 part dispensers U can get it in large tubes but u then have to but a dispensing gun.I prefer to drill small holes on either side of crack to furthur strenthen the repair.I also prefer a piece of drywall tape on the rear side it also adds strenth and is a must if your missing a piece or repairing a tab.Check out there website I believe theres even vids on repairing bumper covers.

One more thing

i just put another back trunk/wing part on and it is out past the body kinda the back of the body some bit, my old wing was faded and hanging over the top of the body so i dont think i should put it back on

Is there anything that can be done to fix this or should i just get another wing

I'm sure you want it perfect to impress your friends, but I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would suggest you just let it be, as you're sure to run it into a curb or 2 per year. I'd also suggest getting a new one from year one, but not installing it anytime soon, just save it in case they become unavailable at some unknown future time.

Yeah bigstack,that front spoiler is an easy repair job.

Your rear spoiler looks like the hatch just needs to be re-aligned?

As for the rear, they all do that at some point, to some extent. It's the hatch. It's a huge PITA, you'll need to undo some interior trim, and you'll need a strong helper.

lol oh ****

now the trunk won't latch as of today, the guy who put my wing on did a horrible job and i believe that to be the only reason for my trunk release not working

There goes another 100+ bucks if im even lucky enough to find one
