nope a butaine blow torch. I cut the plastic to fit on the end, then heated up the edges of both the bumper and plastic. Then just kind of pinched them together. Imagine welding with plastic, same kind of thing.

WEAR LEATHER GLOVES!! melting plastic is hot as hell! I tried using a knife like a troul but my hands in a glove just worked better.

I know its not the best way, but its what i had! lol

(i also had a fire extinguisher right beside me!)
