since I have an exhaust that exits just under the edge of my bumper, the factory outlet area was looking kind of dumb, so I got rid of it lol. I used a section cut from the opposite side of my junk bumper, I used an aluminum plate with vhb adhesive to anchor it in place, then I fiberglassed over everything from behind, The gaps on the visible side,will be filled with flexible bumper compound. I'm at the fiberglass part right now.
where the new exhaust exits

I hate exhaust openings in bumpers.Originally Posted by Dr_Snooz
Is there any concern about the mixed media of the patch? I would be afraid of the rigidity of the aluminum/fiberglass not getting along with the plastic and flexible filler
I know fiberglass sticks to these bumpers,as I fixed the corner with it, it's a matter of getting the surface prepped right, the material is a little different then your typical flexible bumper, as they are pretty rigid
