Can I fix this?

I installed a ss rear lip on my base model g5 bumper. While cutting one of my slits, the dremel got away from me and before I can react this happened. Is it possible to fix or do something to make it look better??? Thanks alot here is a link to my photobucket with a picture

Black silicone?.....


Buy a $10 fiberglass kit. Suggest taking the bumper off. Patch the hole from the inside, then fill the small indent where the hole used to be. Use paint, not silicone lol.

Do it right, its a decent car.

so your saying to get a fiberglass repair kit and use that on the inside to cover the hole from the back side. then from the front fill the hole in with paint? If I am understanding you correctly, how can I fill a hole as deep as that with paint, just keep layering it or gobb it in there then smooth it out. Idk...??...

no seriously, on a black car just use some black silicone. Normally I'm all for fixing things right, but that little holes an easy fill with some black silicone.
