Can it work? Yea maybe? I STRONGLY wouldn't recommend it. It will probably crack after a few weeks. Nothing sticks to those bumper covers well. I use this http://www.lord.com/Products-And-Solutions/Adhesives/Automotive-Repair-Adhesives/Product.xml/314 product for things like that. If your asking this question I'd say you probably lack the necessary skills to do the job (on a professional level). I'll be more than happy to walk you through it if you attempt this on your own. I'm here to help

Man I wish I could travel all over the country helping you guys do these kind of mods.

no fiberglass will hold up on urethane very long or any plastic for that matter.. U should try the Duramix bumper repair tubes, there are a few they offer. It is a two part mix, but like Nash said, it will take some prep n skill to pull off well.. Never used it myself but learned about it while redoing my car. The gun is what u need to find and borrow. I think it is like 35 bux itself. HTH, Peeeeez out
