Well, right now i have a c-west 2 front bumper........ the bumper is cracked in the middle (from gravel) and the bottom corner is sort of ripped off ( top part ripped off, bottom part is still attached).....  Is this fixable through fiberglassing? if so, instructions would be very helpful.  Or, is buying another bumper for around 400$ THEN painting my only option?

Thanks in advance

If it's an authentic C-West kit ( which is made from Polyurethane ) then you need it plastic welded. If it's a C-West rip off ( Fiberglass ) then it can be repaired without a problem.

If it's actually a C-West made kit then it will be urathane , otherwise it will be made in the USA or Mexico and it will most likely be fiberglass.

Yeah then it's fixable...did it with a friends R34 sentra spec v kit a while back. The best way to fix the crack is to lay a layer of glass down on the inside of the bumper across the crack, body fill and sand the front side. As for the piece that is ripped off, it all depends on how well you can 1) fiberglass and 2) recreate something from nothing. It shouldn't be too bad, hell, I made a body kit for a Nissan Xterra out of an Acura Integra JDM kit! Post some pics so we can give better advice.
