The bumper is from the Inital D RX-7 FC3S Fujimi kit.

First I sanded/cut down the the ridges in front. Then trimed out the bumber with a cutter till it fits. Next I used modeling putty (Tamiya) to stick on the bumper then smoothed out the surface with sand paper.

how durable is it? so let's say I did the same to my car with putty... and then I drive around crazily smashing here and there... would it crack? or break?

The bumper and tail light are now in pieces after going on the track on Friday. :P Go for a resin body kit if you can. Plastic is too cheap.
