Cracked bumper- options?
So last night, I fell asleep behind the wheel I was runnin on 3 hours of sleep and a day of snowmobiling so I was tired to say the least.. I was hanging out with my buddy since he is back from school for a week and on my way home I was super tired, like long blinks, I had the windows down and I just wanted to get home. I was on a gravel road, took a right turn at a intersection, and just remember making the turn and then blinking and next thing you know I was in the ditch.. There was a metal sign for a natural gas line I think and there was no way to miss it, I smoked it and bent it down.. I drove another mile before I got out to assess damage.. Front bumper on drivers side is cracked pretty badly, I am going to try to get some pictures today and I'll post them on here tonight. I am super bummed about it, my cars my baby and there is no way I am leaving it with a broken bumper like that. I need some help guys, I just want it fixed and forget about it.. Let me know what you guys think a guy can do about it, and I'll get those pics up later tonight.
THANKS !

If you drill small holes on either side of the crack, you can stitch it back together with zip ties from the back. It works great!

x2. And if you paint the zip ties you'll hardly even notice

There are pics of the damage,,, I am not too sure what my best bet here is to do, I have seen the zip tie fix before and I don't think I would do that on my own car but if it comes down to it, it would work. I posted a wanted ad for a bumper but I doubt I will have any luck so I will be calling junkyards and salvage yards on Tuesday, Anyone have a idea what a approx cost would be to get a bumper painted?? For the bumper repair kits, is it possible to repair a crack that big?
Thanks
