Broken mounting studs on camaro frnt bumper
When I took the front bumper off my camaro the bolts that attach to the fender broke right out if the fiberglass backing. Anyone know the best way to fix this?

So you're saying that the backing nut ripped out of the urethane bumper, or the metal fender? I haven't heard of any fiberglass being used on our cars (or at least on my T/A).

Well behind our bumpers there is a fiberglass like materal that the studs mount to so that we can bolt the fenders in. Thanks for the tips I will try useing stranded fibgerglass filler.
