Ground Effect Repairs- I need help!
Hey guys. I removed these GFX from a wrecked 1986 IROC-Z and I want to put them on my car. Unfortunately the previous owner didn't watch the high spots in the road or speed bumps or something. Anyway they are cracked and I want to know how I fix them. Can I get some help? I've included pictures.

Re: Ground Effect Repairs- I need help!
if u must fix them we'll guide you to the process b/c on the pics i see some parts are made of fiberglass but i see one that looks like plastic so fixing plastic its a little different.

Yes the front is like a rubber plastic and that has the hole right at the tip of the nose. The sides are fiberglass. I'll check my local pull&save to see what they have. Thanks

Cracks in urethane bumpers can be repaired with a product called Lord Fusor. SEM and 3M both make a similar product.

Re: Ground Effect Repairs- I need help!
I hope my Pull&save has the parts because mine are pretty far gone and if fixing them is a long process then I should just use that time looking for better condition ones in the junkyards. Thanks guys!
