Default Repair

My wife gave me a Greddy Gracer Lip under the Christmas tree, and I installed it to see how it would look. To make long story short my Gracer lip became a snow plow this morning headed to work.
I noticed a little crack on the lip. I would like to fix it to isolate the crack from spreading down the kit.

My question is: How do you fix Urethane kits, and what products are used?

yes urethane can be fix...first they grind the crack...depend how big or small the crack...big crack would used evercoat(urethane plastic) to cover and sand...small crack would used Glue(don't remember the right name right now)..to cover and sand....then primer and paint....Jimmy
