I have a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse and I installed a fiberglass bodykit. I got a small crack on my back bumper and another one on the front bumper but this one is a little bigger. Im trying to fix it on my own. I thought about using glazing putty but Im still not sure. Anyone know how to fix fiberglass? any suggestions would be appreciated

you need fiberglass and resin along with that putty if you have a big enough hole or crack. If it is a 'star' crack which happens over time to Fiberglass, you should roughen that portion up, add some putty, and then wet sand and buff it.
And then of course send it for a paint job.

based upon experience with collision repair, your best bet is to go to a marine store and buy a product called marine tex it is for repairing fiberglass. To repair it right you will have to clean the area with 40 grit sandpaper and then drill a 1/8 inch hole at the ends of the crack that will prevent it from cracking as you repair the area. once you have the area level with the rest of the bumper you can coat it with a polyester glazing putty and sand it with a 80 to 120 grit sandpaper

Go to your local auto parts store they will have a fiberglass repair kit, If they don't then go to a local boat shop.

You fix fiberglass with fiberglass... I think.
