Cracked front lip
Ok so last night I ran over a possum and it cracked my ABS plastic front lip. It's not bad, just underneath, but the crack is about an inch and a half long. Is there anything that I need to do to fix this, or should it be ok. It's not visible, but I don't want it cracking further or anything like that. Suggestions? Thanks.

well, i dont really no the name of it, but theres this stuff with a nickname "liquid plastic", i get mine at body shops or paint shops and its a 2 part mixture and when you put it on it mixes toughter to become a really strong plastic, you can fill the crack in with that

is it bad that i laughed when you siad you hit a possum? [:-] lol im sorry man, that sucks really bad. I hit a deer going 90 so i know how ya feel. Sorry to hear it. Seems like if you take it off durin the winter it wouldnt crack anymore. In the winter it would seem like the changing temperate and the cold all the time might crack it or something some more. Unless you regularly scrape on driveways during daily driving, then it seems like over time it would crack more and more, but other than that, it seems like you would be alright. If you think you really need to fix it, go with what they said ^
