sand down the surrounding area take out whatevers behind it. mix some of the epoxy up and fill th eedges..then you can add more because its sandable. smooth then paint. if you can get a piece the size of the opening then that would be ideal. If not your gonna have to use strips until it covers up completely. you could do other things like use tape to build a surface the use the epoxy to completely cover the hole but thats a last resort the stuff is very durable but its more rubbery then the bumper material.
just to give you an idea of what it can be used for. molded 8 inch monitor also just finished molding the a/c control cover to the center console. I also covered up the cigarette lighter hole and relocated it to the passenger side cover.

it was probably back in january cause thats when i started to finish up the car and i really wanted money to buy a 2gb. noone wanted it and it grew on me and i ended up really liking it and after it being up for 2 weeks and not one person intrested i deleted the post. not enough people wanna keep the 2ga rear, even with the lip lol. i personally really really liked the lip but there was other stuff i got in the trade i wanted lol. although even omgosh saw it when he bought my spoiler and said if he had one he would have kept his 2ga on lol

technically you can, BUT that wouldnt be the right way to do it unless you like things nigga rigged. if you can get some extra bumper material it would be better. like how people cut above the intercooler to let more air in you can use that if you havent done that already. Even cut up under neath the front bumper theres always excess there no one will see it missing.

You can leave the lights in there if you want/if they fit. What he is saying is to take a piece of urethane from a scrap bumper or whatever. Then cut it to fit the reverse light. Then epoxy that bitch in place. Now fill in the seams with more epoxy till it is level. Now you only have a seam of epoxy to sand down, instead of filling in the entire area with bondo or whatever.
