Default i am cracked!!!!!

New kid needing help.... I recently purchased a 93 gs300 and the filler panel between the taillights has been hit by something that has left about 30-35 cracks in the shape of a half circle.Being the industrious father of 4 kids, I need to stretch the dollars. Is there any way to fill these cracks with something that will restore the light refraction of good plastic and reduce or eliminate these cracks??? I would like to save $400 for a new filler panel. Thanks for any assistance.

I have seen these panels on ebay, which might save you some bucks.

Thanks, Eric.... I have been watching E-bay to no avail, so far. I am hearing that there is some type of "glass resin" that is used to repair bulls eye damage on regular glass windshields, but must be applied with a vacuum. It looks like I may be out of luck!

Keep looking Marcus, there's bound to be a way to save some money. Have you tried salvage yards yet? I am also the father of 4, so I understand the money issue only too well!
