Bondo or weld the holes and never have to worry about cracking.

fiberglass should be good on the bumper.....I would fiberglass the back and then fill the holes on front side up with the resin.....

As for the trunk it would be best to have them welded.....Bondo may hold up for awhile but hard to tell

If you don,t weld the holes shut in the sheet metal , you must dent the hole area deep enough to get a sufficient layer of tiger hair on for reinforcement, then bondo, or the holes will just pop back out in time. If you have access to a plastic welder that would be best for the bumper.
