Message	Hi guys, Well, my Stillen GTZR type 1 urethane front fascia was damaged on the lip when I bought the car last year, and I've bumped a few low spots myself. It also has spider cracks in the paint and some chips. I've asked here before, and IIRC, someone said just bring it to a body shop (I also found some 3M flexible bumper repair stuff, but I'd most likely rather have a body shop do it). I went to one of the many body shops in the area. The owner was really nice and walked out to my car. He said he could repair it to look like new, but he couldn't guarantee it like he does the rest of his work because urethane flexes with temperature changes and the repair will eventually start to crack again. Makes sense to me. Is this actually true? Any recommendations? Thanks guys!
