Any body repair guys? Need info on a repair.

My wife and I 2 weeks ago bought a 2005 GMC Envoy and last night she was driving home from a town just north of Anchorage, and she hit what I'm guessing was a wolf or coyote and there is some minor damage to the passenger side front bumper.

The foglight/blinker light in the front valence (If thats how you spell it) are broken out, the brakets are fine, I can replace the light. There is a small rod or bolt that runs through the bumper and it looks like it secures the bumper/valence together - no biggie I can probably find a bolt or fab somthing to go there. There is paint cracks in the valence where is was stressed, and there is a crack about 3-5 inches long on the underside of the valence.

My question is, is there a resin or somthing I can use in conjunction with plastic to fix that crack? And how would I go about doing it? Also, finish work if it is fixable, what steps are needed to sand out the fiberglass, or resin I would use to fix it, and sand away the paint where the stress cracked the paint?

I plan on doing it all myself, as the damage is really not to any extent that I can't do. I just don't know the finish work to prep to get it repainted. No metal on the car is bent, it's simply just plastic parts.

Thanks in advance!

correct me if im wrong, but i think that bond-0 company (that makes the metal filler) makes one for plastic too.
