Those Prostar bumpers and tire/fender guards are great because they are very easily repairable. If it is only cracked in several places and none of it has big chunks missing, you can easily weld it back up with a plastic welder kit and the correct rods...

this welder: https://amzn.to/2E2DtgS
and these rods: https://amzn.to/2VZNo0R

and for spots/corners where high strength is needed, you can melt in a small piece of this stuff across the weld (or something similar): https://amzn.to/2E2DqSn


Glues and other methods do not work, but proper welding makes it just as strong as a new one when done right, and it looks good too. I have done many of them with people that have come to visit.

(I need to make a video on this some time I think).

I think I might just try this.. small chunk missing from bottom but think I will bolt small piece of diamond plate there...and put the insurance money toward a bumper guard.
