Duraflex cracked bumper.... FixAble?

I just got my bumper in the mail today And it has a chip/crack on it.. I'm debating if it's worth the hastle to have it returned and wait for a new one or to let the body shop fix it. The bumper is gonna be installed by a shop anyway.

Should I just have them sand it and repair before paint etc?

Try calling the place where you got it. They'll either replace it at their expense or they can pay for the cost to get it fixed. Hopefully they will. GL

It would cost more just to ship it over , i don't think they cover that either way .

Its a c-1/ c west style. I called the company and they said they'll give me partial refund so I can get it repaired.. It's from andys autosport and yes it is the bumper that isn't sappsed to crack.. Ironic huh?


Thanks for the info
