Reinforcing

[jharvey1309]

I recently bought a new front bumper for my accent. I bought the tsunami front bumper in case anyine is wondering. the fiberglass is fairly thick but I would still like to add some more on the inside of it just to make sure that it stays strong. Is this hard to do or can I even do this. If you could give me any pointers with this that would be great.

If I have put this in the wrong room please feel free to move it.

What about some dense foam blocks?:ermm: Maybe expansion foam in the crevaces? Maybe build up the back with bondo and screen mesh. Just a few ideas.

it's really easy to add fiberglass. it don't take much time at all. just go buy the stuff and follow the directions. it's not hare but it is messy.

I heard that you could spray rubberized undercoating from a can onto it to help it not crack as easy. I did this with my front lip, not sure if it works or not though ? Your best bet would be to srpay that self harding foam from a can u see at home depot, but use little of this stuff as it expands quit a bit, too much expansion and it could screw with the fitment of the kit. Your other option would be fiberglass cause its very strong if your not farmilar with it try sme test pieces on an inconspicious area. If I was you id do a mixture of both, maybe 1 or 2layers of fiberglass and a little spray foam for solidness, both of these options are pretty lightweight materials so it wouldnt make it soo front heavy. Oh yea and the best reinforcing you could do is to drive carfully, watch out for driveways and speedbumps :lol:
