What should i do with this crack?
Hi guys, This is my first post. I recently bought a FRS with a slight crack in the front bumper. Could you guys give me some advise on the cheapest best way to fix this?

Welcome to the club.
Dam that's one bad crack. The only way I see is a full bumper repray. You could save a few bucks by doing the prep work yourself and removing the bumper. If you can live with just touch up paint and live with the cresses then that's the cheapest option I can think of.

Would maybe buy a new bumper cover and have the shop spray it be a better option? |

The question would be, is the plastic underneath cracked or damaged. If so, a lot of work to get it right and stand up to time. I would consider replacement. if only the surface then paint might do the trick. Have a shop do it.
If this is a true budget car then you could try to do the repair your self and live with the results. |

Yep, as suggested, touch up paint. In a couple of weeks you won't even notice it anymore -
