The grille on my Charger broke and was missing a chunk for the longest time. I decided to actually be proactive today and get after it. Firgured I'd share my experience.

This is not my first time working with fiberglass. I also fiberglassed over my 1995 Ram dash in order to fit a double-din radio correctly. I started with a piece of tin siding I had laying around and cut it to fit the hole. This for for support of the fiberglass and to help keep it straight. I used two small strips of blue tape to hold it into place while I laid the glass. This was actually a pretty straight forward repair. It will require some sanding and shaping, but it should turn out!

The Grand Canyon gap in the Grille:

First couple layers of glass:

Will update as time moves on.

 

Looks good. I'll be curious to see finished product!

 

here it is finished and painted. It's not perfect, but it looks alot better than the gap.
