Repairing a hole

[Kjreny03]

Any suggestions on how to fix a medium size hole in the fiberglass front of my jeep! It's just above my headlight.

JB weld or replace the fascia.

My color is hard to find. A deers antlers went through the front and came inches from my radiator.

fiberglass? I thought the grille was just molded plastic.

there is JB weld for plastic, as well as epoxy.
i would do this:
take the grille off (search for threads on this it is easy and lots of info out there)
prep the area with sandpaper
put duct tape on the backside
fill the hole with your choice of plastic filler.
sand down,
keep stepping down with finer sand paper
primer
sand
then order the color you need at napa:

even with all that I doubt it will look flawless. It's a piece of plastic...order a new one...or may even be able to find one at a salvage yard from a side impacted KJ. Then, if it's a difficult color to find like you said, order the color from NAPA....or do a different color grill. A few people have done that by choice.

If you get a good plastic epoxy and take your time it should look fine. I painted my grill satin black and looks way better then the original color match. Just my two cents though
