How do I fix a cracked bumper lip?

I bumped a curb and cracked my Mazda’s bumper lip. I would rather deal with this at home if I can. Do you have any advice on how to fix a cracked bumper lip?

A damaged bumper lip is never fun. While scratches and dents are easier to fix, cracks can be more challenging. They are also the biggest danger to your car, as a crack can cause your bumper lip to fall apart!
To repair a cracked bumper lip, you’ll want to try and seal the crack with epoxies and bonding materials. Products like Bondo or AutoZone’s Plastic Weld would both work well.
If you can’t fix the crack yourself, you should take it to a mechanic or get the bumper lip replaced. If the lip was cracked in an accident, you may be able to get your repairs paid for by your

policy.
