    Brenden the wholes can be filled with a variety of things from weld to bondo. The crack might need fiber glass. I googled and asked my body guy, so sorry I couldnt be much help. Good luck.

    The cracks won't need fiberglass, necessarily. You can either use chicken wire or fiberglass to reinforce the back of the crack.......I bought a bumper recently that also had cracks in it, and did some research and found some good info

    First, to bond the crack, ur gonna want to find Flexible Adhesive for flexible autobody parts....i bought some 3M adhesive on Ebay for $15. Heres a writeup I used for the fixed:

    Its a good writeup and worked really well for me
    I plan on using this writeup (in addition to other info I researched) to paint it:

    Hope this helps
