    Dammit, ran over my mtech II valance!!

    I was in the parking lot and there was a little dip as I was pulling out and I guess it rubbed a little. Suddenly I heard all this shit under my car and looked back and saw my lower valance on the ground. My heart stopped as I walked toward it to see the damage I caused since I was going about 5mph. Amazing it was still in one piece. Alot of the paint chipped off and there are half inch cracks where the valence wraps around the side. I had no idea it was hanging this loose! Funny thing is I'm waiting for some clips to arrive on special order. In the meantime, is there anyting I can do to reinforce the sections that are cracked?

        Is it plastic or fiberglass?

              OK, fiberglass repair isn't an option. Fiberglass does not stick to plastic.

              Plastic welders are your friend.
