Fiberglass repair- I put a crack in my bed. What now?

Don't ask how, just know I slid into some type of wooden object while having some fun in the snow. The result is a nice crunched spot on the right rear corner of my bed....about 7 inches below the tail light.

You guys do any fiberglass repair or is it in my best interest to visit my local body shop? It doesn't need to be purdy, just needs to be not as smashed looking.

Open to suggestions.

Okay so it's really not that bad then?

I've had to repair my race fairings (fiberglass) in the past but wasn't sure if the different application required different methods of repair.

I'm off to the fiberglass store........after some sleep!

i'd say come up with a really good story about your truck going airborne and landing on a smart car and keep the battle scar.
